Abstract
The Undergraduate Mathematics Applications Project (UMAP) is funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation to Education Development Center, Inc. The Project is responsible for the development of mathematics applications materials (modules and monographs) for undergraduate students. The materials are written, reviewed, and field-tested by individuals throughout the country, and are edited and produced by the UMAP staff, in conjunction with its Subject Matter Panels and Monograph Editorial Board. The Project, in cooperation with the Mathematical Association of America and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, produces The UMAP Journal—a journal devoted to undergraduate mathematics and its applications and published by Birkhäuser Boston, Inc. UMAP's ultimate goal is to organize the developers and users of UMAP materials into an independent, multidisciplinary Consortium to continue the activities of the Project after the initial funding period.
