The Good News about undergrad math education
� Many initiatives and recommendations already exist
� There exists increased attention in math community, and also with policy-makers, on undergrad math education

The Good News about undergrad math education
Now is an opportune time to view the landscape from a higher elevation in order to get a broad
overview of the state of the undergraduate mathematics program.
Now is an opportune time to identify common themes in approaches to both content and delivery toward the goal of establishing a
shared vision for modernized curricula and pedagogies to better prepare students for the
demands of their future careers.

The Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences (CBMS) is an umbrella organization consisting of 16 professional societies all of which have as one of their primary objectives the increase or diffusion of knowledge in one or more of the mathematical sciences.
Of the 16, AMATYC, AMS, ASA, MAA, SIAM are exactly the ones with at least part of their focus on undergraduate teaching.

Our Plan To develop a shared vision of the need to modernize the undergraduate mathematics curriculum, especially the first two years.
A vision that a core group of professional societies can endorse and promulgate, and about which the societies have some degree of confidence that a broad cross-section of the community will embrace.
Be more intentional in the way we present our common vision to ‘the public.’
