Why mathematicians are boycotting their biggest conference

More than 1,500 mathematicians are demanding that their field’s most prestigious meeting be moved from the U.S.

Scientific American

For a story about math, they neglected some important numbers.

How many people actually attend a math(s) conference? How many signers were actually planning to visit? How far in advance was the venue and date set?

@number6 I thought that too. 1500 methematicians are asking for it to be moved ou of the US, but those 1500 are not the attendees. Still, it's great that a many in the field are speaking up even if they are not attending.
