Supporting the goals and ideals of Mathematics and Statistics Awareness Month.
House Resolution 1174 (HRES 1174) is a symbolic resolution supporting April's Mathematics and Statistics Awareness Month. It recognizes math and statistics as foundational to STEM fields and everyday life (like technology and cybersecurity), while highlighting the need for greater diversity in math careers based on 2022 data showing underrepresentation of women and minorities in math PhDs. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but aims to raise public awareness of these fields' importance through annual recognition. It is an annual statement, not a policy change, focused on celebrating math and statistics' role in innovation and inclusion.
