Have you seen the Klein Four Group singing Finite Simple Group (of Order Two) and thought, “That looks like fun”? Have you searched “mathematics” on YouTube and seen all the cool stuff out there? Well, now it’s your turn. The MAA wants you to put your mathematical ideas into a short video. In short, we want content for MathTube.

This is the fun side of math. Put together a team and show your creative side in a short video. You can sing calculus carols, QuickTime you and your friends creating a mathematical snow sculpture, or introduce an upper-level topic in a new and unique way.

A panel of judges from the MAA will decide the best videos. The winning video will be posted on the MAA website for viewing. In addition, the best videos will be shown at the MAA booths for both the Joint Math Meetings and MathFest.

Each member of the creative team of the winning video will receive $100, complimentary registration for the Joint Meetings in San Diego, and a collection of MAA products (flying disc, deck of cards, travel mug, and stress-relieving icosahedron). The next 3 runners up will receive the pack of MAA products for each member of the creative team and a $25 gift certificate for MAA products.
