Join the MA
What is the Mathematical Association?
It was formed in 1871 to work for the improvement of mathematical education. It
is represented on all major bodies concerned with mathematics education and can
claim to have wide influence through its members and activities.
Who are the members?
Teachers in primary and secondary schools, further and higher education,
advisers, inspectors, practising mathematicians and students. There are also
institutional members.
What do I get for my money?

to take and all the benefits of full membership, with generous discounts for
individuals and students. The MA publishes a comprehensive range of periodicals,
books and other resources. It also supports a range of meetings, conferences and
other services for its members:
- an annual conference where you can meet
colleagues in an informal atmosphere, attend workshops and seminars, relax and
simply enjoy mathematics,
- local branches,
- the opportunity to work in small groups
investigating a specific aspect of mathematics or teaching, often resulting in
the production of teaching materials or publications,
- journals to help you in your work,
- a termly newsletter,
- occasional free reports and teaching materials,
- one third discount on the price of most publications,
- access to the Association's library,
- access to the Association's problem bureau.
Which journals do I receive?
All members receive MA News, Mathematical Pie (including its Teachers Notes and
Newsletter), conference information, details of new publications and other
general information. In addition, all members receive at least one journal
depending on which of the six categories of membership is chosen.
