Generous contributions by Daniel’s Bartlett's family and friends have made it possible to establish a graduate scholarship and an annual public lecture in his honor. The memorial lectures feature mathematicians of world renown, speaking on topics of interest to wide audiences, and are open to the public.

The purposes of both the scholarship and lecture are to memorialize Daniel Bartlett, a graduate student in mathematics at the time of his death in 2006, to foster awareness and appreciation of mathematics of the highest level in the Tucson community, and to support graduate education in Mathematics at The University of Arizona.

These lectures are appropriate for the general public, especially those with an interest in mathematical sciences
