The Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (IPMU) was established in October, 2007 as one of the five World Premier International Research Centers by the Ministry of Science and Education of Japan. IPMU's mission is to discover fundamental laws of nature and to solve mysteries of the universe from the synergistic perspectives of physics, cosmology and mathematics. I have been involved in this institute from the proposal stage. In the first half of this talk, I will review the progress of IPMU in the past three years. In the second half, I will discuss research opportunities at the interface of mathematics and physics and IPMU's roles in this area.
