The American Institute of Mathematics (AIM) is one of nine mathematical institutes in the United States, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). It was founded in 1994 by John Fry, co-founder of Fry's Electronics, and originally located in the Fry's Electronics store in Palo Alto, California. It was privately funded by Fry at inception, and has obtained NSF funding since 2002.[1] In 2014, AIM moved to a wing of Fry's corporate headquarters in San Jose, California. From 2023 onwards, the institute will be located on the campus of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California.
