AMATYC - "Opening Doors Through Mathematics" as the only professional organization whose goal is the improvement of mathematics education in two-year colleges in the United States and Canada. If you are already a member, then you are aware of the many activities and resources that membership provides and we look forward to seeing you at the next annual conference, November 11-14, 2010, in Boston, MA.

If you are not a member, please take a moment to review the numerous AMATYC activities and publications for members listed below. You are sure to find a professional development opportunity with a direct focus on the teaching and learning of mathematics in the two-year college that will engage you and your colleagues.

  • AMATYC offers quality professional development opportunities including Traveling Workshops, Summer and Winter Institutes, and a great annual conference each fall. 
  • The new journal, MathAMATYC Educator, and AMATYC News provide you with peer-reviewed articles and news from across the continent as close as your mailbox.
  •  Through its second standards document, Beyond Crossroads, AMATYC presents a vision for quality mathematics instruction in the first two years of college, as well as strategies for implementation of messages in AMATYC's 1995 Crossroads document. 
  • AMATYC committees keep members in touch between conferences. They provide a forum on a specific area of interest that allows you to discuss important issues such as assessment, dual enrollment, placement, and access for all. 
  • AMATYC provides a voice in the mathematics community through participation by the President or other members in the Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences, Mathematical Science Education Board. 
  • AMATYC represents you at the American Association of Community Colleges by recommending members to serve on AACC commissions and by sponsoring a booth at their annual conference. Members who staff the booth talk with your administrators in an effort to support you. 
  • The AMATYC Delegate Assembly provides a forum where position statements are discussed and approved. Position statements illuminate the beliefs of AMATYC and provide you with support and direction as you make changes at your college. 
  • The benefits for you, your students, and your colleagues of membership in AMATYC are many.

Please consider this your personal invitation to join AMATYC. I look forward to meeting you at the next AMATYC annual conference.
