AMS.org is the official website of the American Mathematical Society (AMS), a professional society established to support and advance research and scholarship in mathematics. The site provides resources for mathematicians, students, and educators, including news, job listings, publications, and conferences. The AMS also offers a range of programs and services, such as grants, awards, and mentoring, to foster the growth and development of the mathematical community. With a focus on promoting excellence in mathematical research, teaching, and outreach, AMS.org serves as a valuable platform for those interested in advancing the field of mathematics.
Authors are encouraged to use AMS-prepared style files in preparing their papers. An abstract is required; it should be at least one complete sentence and at most 150 words.ams.orgThe AMS offers free worldwide access to the electronic abstracts. No abstracts appear in the printed journal starting in 1998.
In 1927 Anna Pell-Wheeler became the first woman to present a lecture at the society's Colloquium.en.wikipedia.orgThe society reorganized under its present name (American Mathematical Society) and became a national society in 1894, and that year Scott became the first woman on the first Council of the society.
Today, some 30,000 individuals and 570 institutions worldwide make up the AMS. In 2016, Catherine Roberts became the first female to lead the American Mathematical Society. Close to 7200 registered!ams.orgJulia Robinson became the first female president of the AMS in 1983, and in 1988 the AMS first published the Journal of the American Mathematical Society, as its flagship periodical.

aim to bring more persons from underrepresented backgrounds into some portion of the pipeline beginning at the undergraduate level and leading to advanced degrees in mathematics and professional success, or retain... them once in the pipeline;
have achieved documentable success in doing so; and
are potentially replicable models.
About this Prize
This award brings recognition to outstanding programs that have successfully addressed the issues of underrepresented groups in mathematics. Examples of such groups include racial and ethnic minorities, women, low-income students, and first-generation college students.
One program is selected each year by a Selection Committee appointed by the AMS President and is awarded US$1,000 provided by the Mark Green and Kathryn Kert Green Fund for Inclusion and Diversity.
Preference is given to programs with significant participation by underrepresented minorities. Note that programs aimed at pre-college students are eligible only if there is a significant component of the program benefiting individuals from underrepresented groups at or beyond the undergraduate level. Nomination of one's own institution or program, in permitted and encouraged.
Nomination Procedure:
The letter of nomination should describe the specific program being nominated and the achievements that make the program an outstanding success. It should include clear and current evidence of that success. A strong nomination typically includes a description of the program's activities and goals, a brief history of the program, evidence of its effectiveness, and statements from participants about its impact. The letter of nomination should not exceed two pages, with supporting documentation not to exceed three more pages. Up to three supporting letters may be included in addition to these five pages. Nomination of the writer's own institution or program is permitted. Non-winning nominations will automatically be reconsidered for the award for the next two years Show more details...
Priorities of the award include recognition of...
(a) accomplished mathematicians who have worked directly with pre-college teachers to enhance teachers' impact on mathematics achievement for all students, or
(b) sustainable and replicable contributions by mathematicians to improving the mathematics education of students in the first two years of college.
About this Prize
The Award for Impact on the Teaching and Learning of Mathematics was established by the AMS Committee on Education in 2013. The endowment fund that supports the award was established in 2012 by a contribution from Kenneth I. and Mary Lou Gross in honor of their daughters Laura and Karen.
The US$1,000 award is given annually.
Nomination Procedure:
Letters of nomination may be submitted by one or more individuals. The letter of nomination should describe the significant contributions made by the nominee(s) and provide evidence of the impact these contributions have made on the teaching and learning of mathematics. The letter of nomination should not exceed two pages, and may include supporting documentation not to exceed three additional pages. A brief curriculum vitae for each nominee should also be included. The non-winning nominations will automatically be reconsidered, without further updating, for the awards to be presented over the next two years Show more details...
About this Prize
This award was established in 2004. For the first three awards (2006-2008), the prize amount was US$1,200. The prize was endowed by an anonymous donor in 2008, and starting with the 2009 prize, the amount is US$5,000.
This US$5,000 prize is awarded annually. Departments of mathematical sciences in North America that offer at least a bachelors degree in mathematical sciences are eligible.
Nomination Procedure:
A letter of nomination may be submitted by one or more individuals. Nomination of the writer's own institution is permitted. The letter should describe the specific program(s) for which the department in being nominated as well as the achievements which make the program(s) an outstanding success, and may include any ancillary documents which support the success of the program(s). Where possible, the letter and documentation should address how these successes came about by 1) systematic, reproducible changes in programs that might be implemented by others, and/or 2) have value outside the mathematical community. The letter should not exceed two pages, with supporting documentation not to exceed an additional three pages Show more details...
