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 web
site, e-MATH,
also contains a relatively up-to-date listing of professional societies,
associations, and organizations that keep web sites of their own. American Mathematical Society

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
