A wealth of research literature exists on how mathematics instructors can facilitate rich, meaningful learning experiences and on what instructors can do to improve teaching and learning at the undergraduate level: Effective teaching and deep learning require student engagement with...

OPEN Math

What is OPEN Math? The OPEN Math or Online Professional Enhancement and Capacity Building for Instructional Practices in Undergraduate Mathematics project is improving math instruction throughout the country by providing high-quality online professional development workshops around themes of active learning tailored to higher education math faculty through a five-year, $1.6 million grant from the National...

Previous PIC Math Workshops on Data Science

About the Workshops The PIC Math Workshops on Data Science were aimed at mathematics and statistics faculty members with little or no experience in data science. The workshops were held on the campus of Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, from May 29-June 2, 2017, and from June 18-22, 2019. The workshops were supported by PIC Math which is...

PIC Math

Preparation for Industrial Careers in Mathematical Sciences (PIC Math) PIC Math prepares mathematical sciences students for industrial careers by engaging them in research problems that come directly from industry. The PIC Math program aims to: A strong component of PIC Math involves students working as a group on a semester-long undergraduate research problem from business,...

Best Practices Statements

“Best Practices” statements written by the MAA’s Committee on Faculty and Departments (CFD) are the successor to the Guidelines for Programs and Departments in Undergraduate Mathematical Sciences report which was last published by the MAA in 2003. Along with updating the content based on new developments in the profession, technological change in the past decade provides us an opportunity to reimagine the format and distribution of the information in the Guidelines.

National Research Experience for Undergraduates Program (NREUP)

The Mathematical Association of America (MAA) champions undergraduate engagement in mathematical sciences through focused and challenging research experiences. These experiences spark interest in advanced degrees and careers in mathematics. The MAA’s National Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program (NREUP) offers grants for mathematical sciences faculty to host summer research programs on their campuses. NREUP aims to...

Tensor Women & Mathematics Grants

Funded by the Tensor Foundation, the Tensor Women & Mathematics Grants support projects designed to encourage college and university women and pre-college girls to study and persist in mathematics. Each year, we invite proposals from college/university mathematical sciences, and from secondary mathematics faculty who are partnering with college/university faculty. Interested high school teachers are strongly...

Tensor SUMMA Grants

Funded by the Tensor Foundation, the Tensor Strengthening Underrepresented Minority Mathematics Achievement (SUMMA) Grants support initiatives aimed at fostering a love for mathematics among students from historically underrepresented groups. These groups include Black or African American, American Indian or Alaska Native, Hispanic or Latino, and Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander students. The grants support...

Neff Outreach Fund

The John and Mary Neff Foundation has provided funding to support projects designed to encourage middle school students to study and persist in their interest in mathematics. The Foundation is particularly interested in projects that directly support students from underserved communities, rural communities, and/or indigenous communities. Each year, we invite proposals from higher education institutions,...

Dolciani Mathematics Enrichment Grants (DMEG)

Funded by the Mary P. Dolciani Halloran Foundation, these grants support projects that promote math enrichment for promising or interested middle and high school students.
