Professional Organizations

	The American Mathematical Society (AMS) was founded in 1888 to further mathematical research and scholarship. The Society currently has approximately 30,000 members throughout the United States and around the world. It fulfills its mission through programs that promote mathematical research, increase the awareness of the value of mathematics to society, and foster excellence in mathematics education. The AMS website also contains a relatively up-to-date listing of professional societies,associations, and organizations that keep web sites of their own. American Mathematical Society PO Box 6248 Providence, RI 02940-6248
	The Mathematical Association of America (MAA)is the world's largest organization devoted to the interests of collegiate mathematics. Members of the MAA receive many valuable benefits for modest dues. These benefits are designed to stimulate interest in mathematics by providing expository books and articles on contemporary mathematics and on recent developments at the frontiers of mathematical research, and by exchanging information about important events in the mathematical world. A major emphasis of the MAA is the teaching of mathematics at the collegiate level, but anyone who is interested in mathematics is welcome to join. Mathematical Association of America 1529 Eighteenth Street, NW Washington, DC 20036-1385
	The Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematicians (SIAM) was inspired by the vision that applied mathematics should play an important role in advancing science and technology in industry. Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematicians 3600 University City Science Center Philadelphia, PA 19104-2688 SIAM also maintains a page on Careers in the Math Sciences.
	The Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) is a non-profit organization founded in 1971. Their continuing goal is to encourage women in the mathematical sciences. AWM currently has more than 4,100 members (women and men) representing a broad spectrum of the mathematical community - from the United States and around the world! Association of Women in Mathematics 4114 Computer and Space Science Building University of Maryland College Park, MD 20742-2461
	The American Statistical Association (ASA) is a scientific and educational society founded in 1839 with the following mission: To promote excellence in the application of statistical science across the wealth of human endeavor.
