The Mathematical Sciences Education Board (MSEB) was created by the National Research
Council (NRC) in 1984 in response to the report, A Nation at
Risk: The Imperative for Educational Reform, produced in 1983 by the
National Commission on Excellence in Education. Until the late 1990s, the MSEB
functioned as a separate board. It was absorbed into a larger science education
board at the NRC.

The collection documents the early years of the Mathematical Sciences Education
Board, 1987-1992, during which Lynn A. Steen participated as a member of the
founding executive committee; he also wrote and edited several MSEB publications
during this period. In addition, the collection includes material from the three
academic years during which Steen worked as the Executive Director of the board,
1992-1995, as well as files subsequent to his leadership. Documents include
correspondence, memoranda, source files related to books and reports published by
the board, strategic plans, planning documents, task force files, newsletters, and
meeting material.
The collection is divided into two series: Activities and Publications. The order of
the files and the collection was preserved as received.

Lynn Steen’s files documenting his activities with the Mathematical Association of America and
other mathematical groups were separated to the MAA Records and integrated under
Steen’s presidential files. |
