The Mathematical Association of America is happy to announce that two articles from MAA publications have been selected in The Best Writing on Mathematics 2017, a Princeton University Press collection.

The MAA is proud that authors who publish with the MAA continue to set the bar for excellence in mathematical writing.

This year editor Mircea Pitici included selected pieces from MAA publications Math Horizons magazine and The College Mathematics Journal for the annual collection. Last year eight MAA published articles were selected for The Best Writing on Mathematics 2016.
