National Association
of Mathematicians
The National Association of Mathematicians, Inc.,
known as NAM, was founded in 1969. NAM, a nonprofit professional
organization, has always had as its main objectives, the promotion of
excellence in the mathematical sciences and the promotion and
mathematical development of under-represented minority mathematicians
and mathematics students. It also aims to address the issue of the
serious shortage of minorities in the workforce of mathematical
scientists.
NAM produces a quarterly Newsletter that serves as the conduit of information. For past editions of the Newsletter, advertisement information, and information on submitting articles, see: http://nam-newsletter.org
Although the majority of NAM members consist of members of underrepresented groups of minorities, a significant number of members represent a cross-section of the mathematical sciences community. Membership is open to all. For a membership form, click here.

The NAM Faculty Research Conference
The National Association of
Mathematicians (NAM) will hold their Faculty Conference on Research and
Teaching Excellence at Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland on Saturday, April 21,
2012. This will be an opportunity for mathematicians to
showcase their
research as well as see what topics their colleagues, both at their institutions
and neighboring schools, are investigating and network with area and
visiting mathematicians. Anyone that is interested in attending and/or
presenting should register here. The schedule is available.
