John Ewing joined Math for America in early 2009 as President with a charge to expand the New York program as well as the presence of similar programs throughout the nation.
Before joining Math for America, Ewing served as Executive Director of the American Mathematical Society for more than 13 years. The AMS represents more than 32,000 research mathematicians and publishes books, journals, and databases, employing a staff of over 200 in its Providence, Ann Arbor, and Washington offices. He previously was professor of mathematics at Indiana University from 1973-1995, where he also served as Chair of the department.
In addition to publishing mathematical research, Ewing was active in mathematical exposition both as writer and editor, winning several national awards. He has also written extensively on scholarly and electronic publishing.
In 1966, Ewing received his B.S. from St. Lawrence University, which also awarded him an honorary degree in 1996, and received his M.S. and Ph.D. from Brown University in 1971.
