About the MAC3 Project
The goal of Mathematics Across the Community College Curriculum (MAC3) is to create a mathematically literate society that ensures a workforce equipped to compete in a technologically advanced global economy. This will be accomplished by training math and non-math faculty across many disciplines to create, evaluate and modify projects that incorporate mathematics. As a result, community college students throughout the nation will be offered opportunities to deepen and reinforce the mathematics they have learned in their math classes, apply it in context, and understand its greater importance and application in their lives.
This project is being led by The American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC) in partnership with Edmonds Community College, Seattle Central Community College, and Miami Dade College. Together we plan to implement a national dissemination project that will make mathematical literacy a more welcome and important part of the two-year college curriculum in the United States.
The MAC3 project will conduct a series of institutes whose goal is to help initiate or strengthen MAC3 initiatives
at the secondary and higher education levels. We invite any teacher or interdisciplinary group of teachers from high school
or 2- or 4- year institutions who desire to make the mathematical or quantitative dimensions of his/her discipline more explicit
to submit an application for the 2007 Winter Institute.
