1# Cataloging Existing Data on the Math Community
2
3This is an opportunity to guide future work in the mathematics community.
4The [American Mathematical Association](https://maa.org/) used to conduct an
5annual survey of US institutions that offered degrees in mathematics.
6They collected lots of different types of data.
7
8- [ ] Start by looking at old surveys.
9 - This will inform what a new survey should look like.
10- [x] [Look at list of potential data sources.](#list-of-data-sources)
11 - [x] Separate data sources with team.
12 - [ ] Use NLP in "Missing Databases" exhibit.
13 - [ ] (maybe) create an annotated list of data sources
14 - How was the data collected?
15 - What variables are included?
16 - [ ] Discuss:
17 - Sustainability of data source
18 - What are the implications of losing this data source?
19 - What other types of data still needs to be collected?
20 - Make references to the Metamath project and the utility of research on
21the STEM community to enact change.
