How should we think about undergraduate math theses - expository or otherwise - in the age of AI? (This is on my mind as the Fall semester approaches)

Usher catching a vibe at the International Congress of Mathematicians just before Peter Sarnak's talk on "Maestro Jean Pierre Serre" (I've met a few of the ushers. They all seem to be mathematicians themselves).
Srikanth Iyengar from the University of Utah (my PhD advisor) gave an ICM talk on the "Commutative Algebra of congruence ideals and applications to Number Theory"

OpenAI Hires Fields Medalist Jacob Tsimerman, Exposing Math's AI Safety Divide
OpenAI has recruited Jacob Tsimerman just after he received the 2026 Fields Medal, creating an unusually sharp conflict between academic prestige and AI safety. The openai rsshub story began as a shor...

ICM Panel: AI for Mathematics It has been strongly impressed upon all of us that we need to adapt to the times (i.e. get involved with the communities using AI for math research)
Would you use AI to write your referee reports?

This paper has been a REALLY long time coming. It's about a course I taught for many years called Tools of Inquiry, in which I try to teach students to ask and explore their own mathematical questions, including with technology. It's a little like an introduction to research experience at scale!

Closing out my first year as a tenured professor. What a wild ride.
To the teachers: What percentage of your students got A's this semester? How do you feel about the proposed Harvard grade caps?
Attended this conference at Mudd over the last two days. Great context and conversation but ultimately more questions than answers. Surprisingly (or perhaps not so surprisingly) almost everyone was an AI skeptic.

Trace does not preserve reflexivity - Collectanea Mathematica
In this article, we address a question raised in Dao et al. (Trans Am Math Soc Ser B 10:355–380, 2023) regarding the preservation of reflexivity under taking trace. We answer this question negatively....

In light of everything this reads a lot more like a threat than a job ad.
A peak into a card I got from the graduating math seniors from Harvey Mudd. That is indeed a cat learning about Ext, Tor, and Homs. Success! (names blacked out for privacy)
New expository article surveying the graph reconstruction conjecture and presenting an invariant-theoretic approach to studying it, translating a graph-theoretic problem into an algebraic one. arxiv.org/abs/2604.16567
Shuffling the Deck: Invariant Theory and the Graph Reconstruction Conjecture
The graph reconstruction conjecture asserts that every simple graph on at least three vertices is uniquely determined by its deck of vertex-deleted subgraphs. In this expository article we survey the ...

Mad that my collaborators are all at Oberwolfach 😂🥹😭
Real question: how does one acquire a secondary academic affiliation?

Harvey Mudd College@hmc.edu · 6mo agoFrom Feb. 27–28, the #InnovationAcceleratorLab for Data Science and Social Impact will be hosting the Driving the Impact of Data Science (DIoDS) conference at #HMC. The #DIoDS conference will explore how #DataScience can be leveraged responsibly to serve society. More info at uqr.to/2627h.

Once again, imagine this happening at the ICM - there's no way we (the U.S.) can host the ICM responsibly #mathsky
Nathan Kalman-Lamb@nkalamb.bsky.social · 6mo agoProfessional athletes are being advised not to leave the hotel or go anywhere without their passports while visiting Minnesota. This is not a country that can safely host international events like the World Cup. Boycotting is not even a political question anymore. It is a basic issue of safety.

Still proud of the little paper that could. New milestone 10 years later. Do I celebrate today?
