The Mathematical Association of America (MAA) was founded in 1916 at
a meeting of 104 interested persons at the University of Missouri. It is one of
the largest professional organizations in the field of mathematics with 27,000
members. The mission of the MAA is to "to advance the mathematical sciences,
especially at the collegiate level." The core interests of the MAA are
education, research, professional development, public policy and public
appreciation. The MAA has its national headquarters in Washington D.C. In
addition to the national venue, there exist 27 regional sections as well as
seven subject-related special interest groups.
More information about the MAA can be found on the organization's web
site:

Return to the Table of Contents
This collection consists of correspondence, printed material, notes,
publications, and photographs documenting the work of the Mathematical
Association of America and its members. Strongly represented are the files of
officers of the association, as well as the editorial files from the MAA's two
major journals,
American Mathematical Monthly and
Mathematics Magazine.
The records are organized into the following series: Washington office
records, Officers, Committees, Publications, Projects, Section files, and
Meetings and conferences. Some parts of the collection were formerly cataloged
as separate collections and have now been integrated into the whole. When
possible, the material comprising these collections has been kept together and
will retain its original order. Be aware that material on committees, meetings,
etc., may be found within individual officer's files and not only in the named
series.

|
|
Abstract: |
|
|
Records of Henry L. Alder's work as Secretary (1960-1975),
President (1977-1978) and Past-President (1979) of the Mathematical Association
of America, together with some records of the latter portion (1957-60) of H.M.
Gehman's term as Secretary. The records are chiefly related to the Mathematical
Association of America's work in fostering mathematics education on the primary
through college level. The collection reflects Alder's activities in connection
with the Board of Governors, Executive and Finance Committee, Committee on the
Undergraduate Program in Mathematics, and several other committees and
affiliated organizations. Included are correspondence, agendas, minutes, grant
proposals, and reports. |

|
|
|
Note: |
|
|
|
Includes drafts and final copies of agenda, minutes and
reports; correspondence (including postcard responses to mail ballots); voting
records; and grant proposals. Much of the correspondence is concerned with the
Committee on the Undergraduate Program in Mathematics (CUPM), Conference Board
of the Mathematical Sciences (CBMS), American Association for the Advancement
of Science Committee on the Teaching of Science and Mathematics, and MAA
publications. |
