M A was founded in New York City by a group of businessmen, mathematicians and educators, led by Jim Simons, president of Renaissance Technologies, a private investment firm that uses innovative mathematical methods to make investment decisions. M A was the congressional model for legislation creating the new National Science Foundation Teaching and Master Teaching Fellowships through the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship program in the America COMPETES Act. The M A Fellowship, M A Early Career Fellowship and M A Master Teacher Fellowship are based on three key principles: To teach math effectively, one needs a strong knowledge of mathematics, solid pedagogical skills and a desire and ability to interact with young people. Generous incentives make it possible to recruit mathematically qualified individuals into teaching and to retain outstanding mathematics teachers.
