The Mathematical Association of America is the largest professional society that focuses on mathematics accessible at the undergraduate level. 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 envision a socie

ty that values the power and beauty of mathematics and fully realizes its potential to promote human flourishing. The mission of the MAA is "to advance the understanding of mathematics and its impact on our world." This mission guides our core values:

Community: Cultivates participation in mathematics through outreach and partnership. Strengthens community through collaborative activities for mathematics professionals, students, and enthusiasts at all levels. Inclusivity: Advocates inclusivity and celebrates diversity by promoting mathematics for all. Broadens access to mathematics through initiatives to engage diverse audiences. Communication: Advances creative discoveries in mathematics and communicates them to the world. Communicates the role of mathematics in a changing society. Teaching & Learning: Fosters the open exchange of ideas about the teaching and learning of mathematics. Develops and promotes research-based instructional resources and practices. We pursue these values through extensive programs, meetings, and publications, well over one hundred national committees, and 29 regional sections.

New on Math Values: David Bressoud continues his Launchings series, looking at why the Calculus Reform movement of the late 1980s and early 1990s didn't stick.

Read the full column on Math Values here:

By David Bressoud As of 2024, new Launchings columns appear on the third Tuesday of the month. This is a continuation of last month’s Launchings that began a series of columns that will take us up to the current efforts to modernize undergraduate mathematics. I started last month with a...

Lew Ludwig has led AI workshops and written a book on AI in higher ed, but couldn't explain why his own gut still refuses to build assignments around it.

His answer turned up in the stonework of Gloucester Cathedral.

Read his reflection in the latest Math Values here:

By Lew Ludwig A summer trip to Gloucester Cathedral gave Lew Ludwig the answer to a question he'd been dodging for four years: why won't he ask his students to use AI? Image generated using Gemini, with prompts created by ChatGPT. It may come as a surprise, but as we enter the fourth academic year w...

Yesterday at , we welcomed Rep. Jake Auchincloss (MA-4) for a conversation on how federal policy is reshaping the STEM landscape, what's at stake for math and science, and how MAA advocates for our members on Capitol Hill.

Thank you, Congressman Auchincloss, for taking the time to talk with mathematicians about the issues that matter to our field.
