Supporting the goals and ideals of Mathematics and Statistics Awareness Month.

H. Res. 349 is a non-binding House resolution introduced on April 24, 2025, by Representative Kim with co-sponsors Tonko, Krishnamoorthi, and Kean. The measure expresses nothing more than the sense of the House in support of Mathematics and Statistics Awareness Month, which is observed every April. It emphasizes the importance of mathematical and statistical sciences to innovation, education, and the broader STEM ecosystem, and it highlights ongoing efforts to increase diversity and inclusion within the field, particularly among women and underrepresented minority groups. The resolution also notes that April’s awareness activities are organized by colleges, universities, and professional organizations and that mathematics and statistics underpin many aspects of daily life and national interests (such as technology, cybersecurity, energy, and health). It explicitly aims to raise public understanding and appreciation of these disciplines and their contributions to science, economy, and society, while reaffirming the goal of maintaining U.S. leadership in these fields.
