Special Functions: Societies

Membership of the Society is open to any person who holds at least a masters degree in mathematics, irrespective of gender, race, creed, region or sect. The Society is dedicated to supporting and encouraging those involved in research, teaching, and the learning of mathematics at all levels. It also organizes and supports seminars, workshops, lectures, educational meetings, etc. It also cooperates with other scientific, technological and industrial bodies in activities which are intended to promote mathematics. It organizes on a regular basis quarterly national seminars, publishes a quarterly newsletter, supports an annual international conference and publishes its proceedings.

These bodies have the ultimate responsibility and authority for representing the AMS membership and the broader mathematical community, determining how the AMS can best serve their collective needs, and formulating and approving policies to address these needs. The governing bodies determine what the Society does and the general framework for how it utilizes its volunteer, staff, and financial resources. The AMS offers blogs for math graduate students, job-seekers, employers, early-career mathematicians, mentors, meeting attendees, math lovers and more. Keep up with our blogs through RSS feed or Twitter, then feel free to comment on the blog or through the social media platforms of your choice.

The UK’s learned Society for mathematics is celebrating its 150th Anniversary in 2015. As part of the legacy of the Anniversary celebrations, the Society is delighted to offer all newly elected members the opportunity to subscribe* to membership of the Society, at a 50% discount of the normal rate, for the next two membership subscription years – 2015/16 and 2016/17.

mathematical research, relations of mathematics to society, relations to European institutions, and mathematical education. The EMS has as its members around 60 national mathematical societies in Europe, 40 mathematical research centres and departments, and 3000 individuals.

Seeking to end confusion with the quadrennial mathematical congresses, a name change was considered for many years. Finally, upon its incorporation as a non-profit, charitable organization in 1978, a new name was adopted - the Canadian Mathematical Society.

computer science, and other areas of computational science through conferences, events and publications. FoCM traces its beginnings to the Park City AMS--SIAM seminar in 1995 and its first conference has been held in Rio de Janeiro in 1997. The FoCM conference, held every three years, covers the entire spectrum of mathematical computation. Specialized events are held from time to time, and focus on timely research topics. Membership in FoCM is free and available through this website.
