EspañolMATHEMATICAL ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA
The 'Mathematical Association of America' ('MAA') is a professional society that focuses on undergraduate mathematics education. Members include teachers at the college and high school level; graduate and undergraduate students; and mathematicians and scientists. It sponsors the annual Putnam Competition and awards the Chauvenet Prize.
MAA was founded in 1894 by Benjamin Finkel.
Headquartered in Washington, D.C., it may be best known as publisher of technical and popular mathematics books, as well as five journals aimed at mathematicians and educators, and for sponsoring light-hearted but nontrivial exercises such as building mathematical surfaces out of Lego bricks.
MAA publishes multiple journals:
★ American Mathematical Monthly
★ Mathematics Magazine
★ College Mathematics Journal
The MAA sponsors the annual summer MathFest and cosponsors (with the American Mathematical Society) the Joint Mathematics Meetings, held in early January of each year. Twenty-nine sections (regional affiliates) also hold regular meeings.
The MAA sponsors numerous competitions for students, including the Putnam exam for undergraduate students, and the American Mathematics Competitions (AMC) for middle- and high-school students. The AMC program also includes the American Invitational Mathematics Examination and the United States of America Mathematics Olympiad. Through this program, outstanding students are identified and invited to participate in the Mathematical Olympiad Program. Ultimately, six high school students are chosen to represent the U.S. at the International Mathematics Olympiad.
MAA is one of four partners in the Joint Policy Board for Mathematics (JPBM, http://www.jpbm.org/index.html), and participates in the Conference Board for the Mathematical Sciences (CBMS, http://www.cbmsweb.org/), an umbrella organization of sixteen professional societies.
