The Math Doctors is a group of experienced volunteers dedicated to helping individuals understand and use mathematics. Established in November 1994, the Math Forum, based at Swarthmore College in Philadelphia, began the service known as Ask Dr. Math ®, now located at https://www.nctm.org/archives/dr.math/index.htm. As the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) took over the Math Forum, the Math Doctors expanded into an international network of students, teachers, and math enthusiasts. Their main objective is to assist people with specific math problems and to answer broader questions about the nature and function of math.

The Math Doctors operate as a "help desk," where individuals submit questions without the need for registration. Personal information is strictly confidential and used solely for communication purposes. With over 20 years of experience and a team of skilled mentors, the Math Doctors have earned the respect of educators and continue to provide valuable insights into mathematical concepts and problem-solving techniques. They also offer mentorship opportunities for those who are passionate about math and willing to uphold their high standards.
