Abstract-The balloon-borne Millimeter-Wave Anisotropy Experiment (MAX) is designed to measure the
fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) on angular scales from to several degrees.
The long term goal is to measure many pixels on the sky at a level appr~ching AT/T(CMB) = 1 x 10e6.
These angular scales fill an important gap between the angular scales < 10 arcmin which are accessible
from conventional radio telescopes and the angular scales > 7 deg which have been measured by the COBE
satellite. They are of particular importance to scientific issues such as galaxy formation, dark matter, and
the Sunyaev-Zel
