THE AMTNYS SEAL
Adopted in 1957, designed by Mr. Richard Elfers, the mathematical
symbols were used to indicate the four levels of instruction of
the membership.
+ (basic math) - for Elementary Schools
x (algebra) - for Junior High Schools
i
(complex numbers) - for Senior High Schools
s
(the integral) - for Colleges and Universities
The lines were
drawn to show the intersecting interests of a part of a particular
sector of the whole, but all are bound by a perimeter of AMTNYS
membership. The Association name is used as a frame for the whole
seal
