64th Street Research

Mohamad Zakaria, Founder of 64th Street Research

Hi, I’m Mohamad Zakaria 👋

I founded 64th Street Research with a deep belief that mathematics is more than numbers—it's a powerful lens for understanding the world around us. We're pioneering a grassroots approach to make mathematical thinking accessible, engaging, and transformative

My Story

During my post-baccalaureate studies across different mathematical disciplines, I experienced a profound revelation. While exploring various branches of mathematics, I realized that methods in probability and systems theory offer unprecedented insights into everyday challenges.

I became driven by a passion to break down the barriers that make mathematics seem intimidating. My vision goes beyond academic exploration. I see mathematics as a universal language that can empower communities, solve complex social problems, and democratize analytical thinking.
