👉 Elected math, often referred to as "election of the mathematical community," is a process where mathematicians collectively choose leaders, known as elected officials or "mathematicians in office," to represent their field at various levels of governance and academic institutions. This process is not a formal election in the political sense but rather a collaborative and consensus-driven selection where candidates are nominated by peers, often through internal competitions or nominations from professional societies. Elected officials typically have the responsibility of advocating for mathematical research, education, and policy within their communities, influencing funding decisions, and fostering international collaboration. The elected math community aims to ensure that the mathematical field remains vibrant, inclusive, and responsive to both theoretical advancements and practical applications.
