AMS Summer Institutes

AMS Summer Institutes were multi-week gatherings on a single mathematics subject. They began in 1953 and were held annually for several decades. Starting in the 1990s, AMS Summer Institutes were held just once a decade, and have now been retired.

Below is archival information of the AMS Summer Institutes.
