Lutzer, Stephen B. Rodi, Ellen E. Kirkman and James W. Maxwell The CBMS2005 survey collected data on enrollment, curriculum, bachelors degrees granted, course availability and faculty demographics using a stratified random sample of the roughly 2,500 programs and departments of mathematics and statistics in two and four-year colleges and universities in the United States. Furthermore, the CBMS2005 survey collected detailed information about first-year courses in calculus and statistics. In addition, special one-time topics included: the continuing impact of the calculus-reform movement; the mathematical education of pre-service K - 8 teachers; academic resources available to undergraduates; dual enrollment, a relatively new way for high school students to receive college credit for courses taken in high school; mathematics in the general education curriculum; requirements of the national mathematics major; and assessment practices in college and university mathematics and statistics departments. Copies of reports of the 1990, 1995 and 2000 CBMS surveys are also available.

Access official statistics collected and published by more than 70 federal agencies without having to know in advance which agency produces them. National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) NCES, a part of the U.S. Department of Education, is the primary federal entity for collecting and analyzing data that are related to education in the United States and other nations. NSF's Science Resource Studies Survey Reports SRS designs, supports, and directs about 14 periodic surveys as well as a variety of other data collections and research projects. These surveys yield the materials for SRS staff to compile, analyze, and disseminate quantitative information about domestic and international resources devoted to science, engineering, and technology. Each year SRS produces about 30 publications. Appreciation of Women in Science (AWIS) AWIS collects data that is comparative for women including data such as undergraduate enrollments in mathematics, and high school course enrollments for the whole population.
