Resources for our Students
The Eckerd College Mathematics Department is an institutional member of the Mathematical Association of America (MAA), the American Mathematical Society (AMS), and the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR). These affiliations, together with other sources, allow us to provide the following resources for our students.
Each year, we award 6 students a complimentary membership in the MAA. The membership includes a year-long subscription to a MAA journal and a year-long subscription to the magazine 'Math Horizons' which is a publication specifically geared to undergraduate students.
Each year, we award 4 students a complimentary membership in the AMS. The membership includes year-long subscriptions to both the Notices and the Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society.
Each quarter, the Mathematics Department distributes a copy of the magazine ‘Math Horizons’, a MAA publication which is specifically geared to undergraduate students, to 40 students enrolled in our upper-division mathematics courses.
Each month, we send a copy of the electronic newsletter 'Headlines & Deadlines’ to all students enrolled in our upper-division math courses. This newsletter provides a wealth of information to our students on mathematics and on mathematical opportunities available nationwide.

Each month, we send a copy of the electronic newsletter 'Career Cornerstone News' to all students enrolled in our upper-division math courses. This newsletter is published by the Sloan Career Cornerstone Center and provides career information and opportunities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
