The Mathematical Association of America is the largest professional
society that focuses on undergraduate mathematics education. Our members
include university, college, and high school teachers; graduate and
undergraduate students; pure and applied mathematicians; computer
scientists; statisticians; and many others in academia, government,
business, and industry. We welcome all who are interested in the
mathematical sciences.
The mission of the MAA is "to advance the mathematical sciences,
especially at the collegiate level."
This mission guides our core interests:
 | Education: We support learning
in the mathematical sciences by encouraging effective curriculum,
teaching, and assessment at all levels. |
 | Research: We support research,
scholarship, and its exposition at all appropriate levels and
venues, including research by undergraduates. |
 | Professional Development: We
provide resources and activities that foster scholarship,
professional growth, and cooperation among teachers, other
professionals, and students. |
 | Public Policy: We influence
institutional and public policy through advocacy for the importance,
uses, and needs of the mathematical sciences. |
 | Public Appreciation: We
promote the general understanding and appreciation of mathematics.
We encourage students of all ages, particularly those from
underrepresented groups, to pursue activities and careers in the
mathematical sciences. |
We pursue these interests through extensive programs, meetings, and
publications, well over one hundred national committees, and 29 regional
sections. |
