A.M.T.N.Y.S.
The Association of Mathematics Teachers of New York State

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
