About Us
"Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas."
— Albert Einstein
The Washington Student Math Association
was founded in August 2009 with one central belief: math has the potential to be
an enjoyable hobby for people of all ages and backgrounds. In no other place is
math done more for enjoyment than in local school math clubs. Our association works
towards creating an optimal environment for math clubs across the state of Washington
to expand and thrive in a constructive, collaborative network. We operate with the
vision that one day, all who wish to pursue an interest or curiosity in math may
have the resources, guidance, and opportunities to do so.
What makes the Washington Student
Math Association unique is that it is powered primarily by students. Our student
leaders from existing clubs not only share and improve club leadership methods among
themselves, but are also motivated to draw from their experiences to benefit the
community. Student leadership is an advantage that allows our association to extend
its influence in a scholastic network covering the state of Washington.
Through the open-ended sharing of
the knowledge, experiences, and skills we have learned through our cumulative years
in math club, it is our common goal to support the dreams of students of all ages
who wish to pursue an interest in the field of mathematics.

Mission pages.
