<p>is the Institute for Advanced Study under Princeton</p>
<p>It’s <em>in</em> Princeton, but it’s not part of the university.</p>
<p>The Institute for Advanced Study is about a mile from the Princeton campus. Many of the first faculty members, Veblen, Alexander, and von Neumann, came from the Princeton University math department. Albert Einstein was the fifth member of the Institute. The Institute faculty originally had offices in the Princeton University math department building. Students and faculty of either institution were allowed to attend courses or seminars given by the other without paying additional fees. Faculty members of both schools constituted the advanced-level Mathematics Club, which met weekly for presentation of papers. The Department and the Institute shared editorial responsibilities for the Annals of Mathematics, a quarterly journal of world renown. The Annal Studies started out in 1934 as a collection of mimeographed notes of advanced lectures given at the University and the Institute. Today the Department and the Institute continue to work together as partners, united in the pursuit of mathematical knowledge. The third Princeton mathematics publication is the Princeton Mathematics Series, initiated in 1937 to stimulate the publication of full-length advanced mathematics books in America. All of these publications are edited under the joint auspices of the Department and the Institute. </p>
<p>Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study sponsor a program Women and Mathematics. The program brings together research mathematicians with undergraduate and graduate students for an intensive 11-day workshop on the campus of the Institute for Advanced Study which is designed to address issues of gender imbalance in mathematics. Founded in 1994, the program includes lectures and seminars on a focused mathematical topic, mentoring, discussions on peer relations, an introduction to career opportunities and a women in sciences seminar. To encourage women to major in math Princeton conducts a summer math workshop for female high school students. Attendees will participate in the “Women in Science” seminar every afternoon, organized jointly with the Program for Women and Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study.</p>
<p>Elon Lindenstrauss, winner of the 2010 Field Prize said, I have spent many years in Princeton at various stages of my career, and think that the combination of the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University and the School of Mathematics at the IAS (Institute for Advanced Study) in close proximity makes it a wonderful place to do mathematics – possibly the best place there is." Other Field Prize winners have been at both Princeton University and the Institute. Kunihiko Kodaira was an Instructor at Princeton from 1949-1961 and a member of the Institute. William P. Thurston was at Princeton University from 1974 1991 and at the Institute. Michael Hartley Freedman received his PhD from Princeton in 1973 and was at the Institute. Edward Witten received his PhD in 1976 from Princeton, was a professor at Princeton, and is now at the Institute. </p>
<p>Eric S. Maskin won the 2007 Nobel Prize in Economics for mechanism design theory. He is currently a visiting lecturer at Princeton with the rank of professor of economics. He lives in the house that was Albert Einstein’s residence. He is a member of the Institute for Advanced Study.</p>
<p>The Institute and Princeton University are separate organizations that are strengthen by the close proximity to each other.</p>
