Welcome to KYMAA

The Kentucky Section of the Mathematical Association of America is devoted to promoting and encouraging the study, the teaching, and the learning of mathematics in the state of Kentucky.

We have an exciting and vibrant mathematics community in Kentucky. Our annual spring meeting is especially fun and interesting event and we always welcome both new and oldcomers to our gatherings. For more information on this year's annual meeting, click on the 2011 Meeting links at the bottom of the menu on the left.

We invite you to explore these webpages and learn about our programs, our people, and our love of mathematics.




The Annual KYMAA Meeting

Our 2013 KYMAA Annual Meeting is scheduled for April 5 - 6, 2013, at Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky. This meeting should be outstanding and we strongly encourage you to participate. Perhaps you and/or your students can give a talk, or just come and listen to what your mathematical colleagues from across the state are up to these days.

We are very excited to have the following invited speakers:

Ron Gould (Emory Univ.), Paul Zorn (St. Olaf College). . You do not want to miss these awesome speakers!

    A Call for Papers

    Excitement is in the air as we prepare for a celebration of mathematics! It is time to begin planning your talk for our 2013 Meeting of the Kentucky Section of the MAA. The meeting will take place at Transylvania University in Lexington on April 5 - 6. Faculty and students, both graduate and undergraduate, from across the state and beyond are encouraged to present a talk.
