     1 VISION, MISSION, AND THRUST VISION

This organization envisions itself as a community of math enthusiasts, holistically formed to be men and women for and with others, that uses Math as a tool/instrument in building a culture of excellence and service in the Ateneo and in the greater society.

MISSION This organization has the mission to:

a. Build a community of math enthusiasts, by establishing relationships among members of the organization, the Ateneo community and the greater society;

b. Become socially involved in addressing the needs and concerns of the community formed;

c. Achieve math excellence by: i. facilitating the sharing of mathematical ideas among math

enthusiasts, ii. introducing to and enriching mathematical ideas and concepts of

persons who are not mathematically inclined in such a way that they will appreciate and see Mathematics as both useful and fun and,

iii. striving to advance mathematical proficiency of persons within the organization and with other groups of similar nature both on and off campus.

THRUST As the Ateneo Mathematics Society 2012-2013, we aim to create a culture of mutual support and to deepen appreciation for mathematics among members by creating services for members and pushing for innovation of projects.

 4 DEPARTMENTS AND POOLS ACADEMICS

D  E  P  A  R  T  M  E  N  T  

1. In the Academics Department, you can either help in improving others' academic standing, or be helped in your performance in your mathematics subjects.

2. We have two pools: the Tutor Pool that takes charge of Agimath+, the AMS tutorial service, and the Question Maker Pool, that oversees the contest questions and the problem solving seminars.

3. Sipnayan, FMIC, and the AMO are for members who want to rekindle their love for math competitions from the perspective of the proctors or for those who simply want to see other people, friends or not, succumb to the difficulty of the questions.

Tutor Pool* The Tutor Pool is a group of altruistic math enthusiasts set on the goal spreading the knowledge the beauty of mathematics through tutorial services.

Question Maker Pool* The Question Maker Pool is the group of creative and smart math enthusiasts who enjoys answering and making all kinds of math problems. QMP is as important as any other pool because without it, there would be no questions to be asked in the prestigious projectS of AMS such as Sipnayan, AMO, FMIC, PotW.
