                               RESOLUTION


 
          Expressing support for Mathematics Awareness Month.

Whereas current educational and economic trends indicate that the demand for 
        employees with a high quality mathematics education could exceed the 
        supply of individuals with such an education;
Whereas students who pursue a postsecondary education in mathematics have a 
        broad range of career choices upon graduation;
Whereas Mathematics Awareness Month began in 1986 as Mathematics Awareness Week;
Whereas April 2010, is recognized as Mathematics Awareness Month;
Whereas the theme for Mathematics Awareness Month 2010, ``Mathematics and 
        Sports'', highlights uses for an education in mathematics across a broad 
        range of subjects and helps to show students that mathematics can be 
        fun; and
Whereas Mathematics Awareness Month encourages colleges, universities, and other 
        organizations to hold events that draw and retain students to the field 
        of mathematics: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the goals and ideals of Mathematics Awareness 
        Month; and
            (2) encourages colleges, universities, and other 
        organizations to hold events to honor Mathematics Awareness 
        Month.
                                 <all>
