Mathematics Awareness Month - April
This year's theme is Mathematics, Statistics, and the Data Deluge. Massive amounts of data are collected every day, often from services we use regularly, but never think about. These data sets provide great opportunities, and pose dangers as well. See the 2012 theme announcement, essay and poster; link to related resources; and submit your school's activity to celebrate Mathematics Awareness Month.

* AMS Book Sale: For the month of April, the AMS offers books related to the "Mathematics, Statistics, and the Data Deluge" theme.  Tuscarora High School in Leesburg, VA, created this showcase of posters and books–including some from the AMS–to celebrate Mathematics Awareness Month. The Joint Policy Board for Mathematics is an organization of the American Mathematical Society (AMS), the American Statistical Association (ASA), the Mathematical Association of America (MAA), and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM). Mathematics departments in institutions around the U.S. use Mathematics Awareness Month as an opportunity to promote awareness of mathematics --its applications and beauty--by offering special lectures, events, contests, and more. See themes of the current and past years, download the posters, read the theme essays by specialists in each field, use the suggested resources, get ideas on how to publicize activities, and link to the websites.
