The American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC) is the only organization exclusively devoted to providing a national forum for the improvement of the instruction of the mathematics in the first two years of college. AMATYC has approximately 2,800 individual members and over 100 institutional members in the United States and Canada.

The American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC) mission is to promote and increase awareness of the role of two-year colleges in mathematics education, and to: 

• Ensure the preparation of scientifically and technologically literate citizens who are capable of making educated decisions, who have skills needed by business and industry, and who will continue to educate themselves;

• Lead the development and implementation of curricular, pedagogical, and assessment standards for two-year college mathematics education;

• Assist in the preparation and continuing professional development of a competent and diverse mathematics faculty skilled in a variety of teaching and learning techniques;

• Serve as a network for communication, policy determination, and action among faculty, affiliates, and other professional organizations; and

• Communicate two-year college mathematics perspectives in public, business, and professional sectors.
