Organizational Information

This organization was initially founded as ARUME (Association for Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education) on January 14, 1999 at the Annual Joint Meeting of the American Mathematical Society, AMS, and Mathematical Association of America, MAA, in San Antonio, Texas. Its formation was in response to the growing interest in research on undergraduate mathematics education (RUME).


At the January 2000 Annual Joint Meeting of AMS/MAA in Washington, DC, ARUME became the first SIGMAA (Special Interest Group of the MAA). As a consequence, the MAA subsequently requested a name change. The vote on the name change, to SIGMAA on RUME, along with other charter and bylaws changes, is to take place at the business meeting on Friday, January 12, 2001 at the Annual Joint Meeting of AMS/MAA in New Orleans, Louisiana.


As outlined in its Charter, the purpose of the group is to foster research on learning and teaching undergraduate mathematics and to provide a support network for those who participate in this area of research. This SIGMAA also welcomes members who teach post secondary mathematics or are interested in the findings of RUME; such members often provide critical assistance in the grounding of research efforts in the realities of the classroom. The organization was partially supported by a grant from the ExxonMobil Foundation.


An extensive history of this organization and its academic community has been compliled by Annie Selden, and is available as “A Home for RUME: The Story of the Formation of the Mathematical Association of America's Special Interest Group of Research in Mathematical Education", Annie Selden, New Mexico State University, Tech Report No. 2012-6, downloadable file 690KB

*Note: We are phasing out official support for the Google Group in 2023. All important announcements will be posted on the SIGMAA on RUME page on MAA Connect. You do not have to be an MAA member to sign up for MAA Connect.
