The Philadelphia Section was formed in 1926 as the 17th section (out of 29) of the MAA. Earlier that year Lehigh mathematician J. B. Reynolds proposed that a section be formed in the Lehigh Valley, but there was insufficient interest in the area. So he joined forces with his colleague A. A. Bennett and Penn mathematician H. H. Mitchell to organize a session of mathematical talks at Lehigh on Saturday, November 27, 1926.........

An MAA Section viewed as a microcosm of the American mathematical community in the twentieth century.  It is a history which every mathematics department in the section should have as reference. Individuals who are interested in the history of mathematics will also find the volume to be useful and informative.

Cost of the history is $20.00 (this includes mailing).  Checks should be made payable to Villanova University.  Contact
