MCA 2013

About the Congress

The goal of the MCA has been to highlight the excellence of mathematical achievements in the Americas within the context of the international arena, and foster collaborations among researchers, students, institutions and mathematical societies in the Americas.

MCA2013 gathered almost one thousand mathematicians in Guanajuato, Mexico, from August 5 to 9, 2013, with a positive evaluation from its participants.

We are now happy to announce that the second Mathematical Congress of the Americas already has a host and will take place on July 23-28, 2017. Please read more information here
