Survey
on Undergraduate Program
MAA
is engaged in strategic planning around issues of teaching in support of
all
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) majors. We are
canvassing mathematicians to help us identify the most important aspects
of this
issue to them and to their departments, gauge the usefulness of existing
MAA
materials and programs, and identify how we can position these materials
and
programs so that they are more useful. Please forward this email to the
other
members of your department and ask them to take this very brief survey at
