                                                        April 22, 2010.
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 the role of mathematics in 
        their everyday lives and interests;
Whereas mathematics is found in sports in the forms of measurement, time, 
        computation, fractions, statistics, and probability; 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;
            (2) encourages colleges, universities, and other organizations to 
        hold events to honor Mathematics Awareness Month; and
            (3) supports increased public awareness and appreciation for the 
        importance of mathematics at all levels of the educational system in the 
        United States.
            Attest:
