Polymath Jr at the 2026 JMM

The second in-person Polymath Jr event was a session at the 2026 Joint Mathematics Meetings, in Washington DC. Sixteen Polymath Jr groups presented about their research results. 

Polymath Jr participants also presented posters, attended talks, played games, and much more. It was wonderful to see so many impressive results by participants!
