Mathematical Association of America
The
Mathematical Association of America (or 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, whose winners not infrequently go on to win Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals.
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.
