Professional Organizations in the Mathematical and Computational Sciences
 

Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)
Founded in 1947 as an international scientific and educational organization dedicated to advancing the art, science, engineering, and application of information technology and serves both professional and public interests.

American Mathematical Society (AMS)
Founded in 1888 to further mathematical research and scholarship. The Society currently has approximately 30,000 members throughout the United States and around the world. It fulfills its mission through programs that promote mathematical research, increase the awareness of the value of mathematics to society, and foster excellence in mathematics education.

American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE)
A nonprofit member association, founded in 1893, dedicated to promoting and improving engineering and technology education.

American Statistics Association (ASA)
A scientific and educational society founded in 1839 to foster excellence in the use and application of statistics to the biological, physical, social and economic sciences.

Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology
A nationally recognized organization that provides platforms allowing women's voices, ideas and spirits to influence technology. The mission is to increase the impact of women on all aspects of technology, to increase the positive impact of technology on the lives of the world's women, and to help communities, industry, education and government benefit from these increases.

Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM)
A non-profit organization dedicated to encouraging women in the mathematical sciences.

Casualty Actuarial Society
An organization dedicated to advancing the body of knowledge of actuarial science applied to property, casualty and similar risk exposures, to promoting and maintaining high standards of conduct and competence for the members, and to increasing the awareness of actuarial science.

Graduate Record Examination Program (GRE)
Provides tests that are usually required for admission to graduate school as well as publications and services related to graduate admissions activities, guidance and placement, program evaluation, and selection of fellowship recipients. The GRE Program also assists students in their transition to graduate education through a variety of services and publications.

Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS)
Serves the professional and scientific needs of Operations Research and Management Sciences investigators, scientists, educators, students, and managers, as well as the institutions they serve where Operations Research (OR) and the Management Sciences (MS) are the professional disciplines that deal with the application of information technology for informed decision-making.

Mathematical Association of America (MAA)
The world's largest organization devoted to the interests of collegiate mathematics.

National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM)
A nonprofit professional association whose purpose is to improve mathematics education for all students in the United States and Canada. Composed of more than 120,000 teachers, educators, and other professionals, it is now the largest mathematics education organization in the world.

Petersons Education and Career Center
Has an excellent searchable index of linked graduate programs, provides directories of professional associations, accrediting agencies, financial aid sources, career offices, and other similar topics.

Society of Actuaries
An educational, research, and professional organization dedicated to serving the public and Society members. Its mission is to advance actuarial knowledge and to enhance the ability of actuaries to provide expert advice and relevant solutions for financial, business, and societal problems involving uncertain future events. The vision of the Society of Actuaries is for actuaries to be recognized as the leading professionals in the modeling and management of financial risk and contingent events.

Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM)
Dedicated to advancing the application of mathematics to science and industry, to promoting mathematical research that could lead to effective new methods and techniques for science and industry, and to providing media for the exchange of information and ideas among mathematicians, engineers, and scientists. In conjunction with the AMS, they also provide career information and services to the mathematics community through the AMS-SIAM Mathematics Careers Bulletin Board which is an interactive service that informs students about non-academic career choices in the mathematical sciences.

Society of Women Engineers (SWE)
Dedicated to stimulating women to achieve full potential in careers as engineers and leaders, expanding the image of the engineering profession as a positive force in improving the quality of life, and demonstrating the value of diversity.
