ThePolish Mathematical Society (Polish:Polskie Towarzystwo Matematyczne) is the main professional society of Polish mathematicians and represents Polish mathematics within theEuropean Mathematical Society (EMS) and theInternational Mathematical Union (IMU).

History

[edit]

The society was established inKraków,Poland on 2 April 1919 . It was originally called the Mathematical Society in Kraków, the name was changed to the Polish Mathematical Society on 21 April 1920. It was founded by 16 mathematicians,Stanisław Zaremba,Franciszek Leja,Alfred Rosenblatt,Stefan Banach andOtto Nikodym were among them.^[1]

Ever since its foundation, the society's main activity was to bring mathematicians together by means of organizing conferences and lectures. The second main activity is the publication of its annalsAnnales Societatis Mathematicae Polonae, consisting of:

Series 1:Commentationes Mathematicae
Series 2:Wiadomości Matematyczne ("Mathematical News"), in Polish
Series 3:Mathematica Applicanda (formerlyMatematyka Stosowana until 2012)
Series 4:Fundamenta Informaticae
Series 5:Didactica Mathematicae
Series 6:Antiquitates Mathematicae
Series 7:Delta, in Polish

The annals are also known under the Polish nameRoczniki Polskiego Towarzystwa Matematycznego and under the English namePolish Mathematical Society Annals.

International Stefan Banach Prize

[edit]

The International Stefan Banach Prize (Polish:Międzynarodowa Nagroda im. Stefana Banacha) is an annual award presented by the Mathematical Society to mathematicians for best doctoral dissertations in themathematical sciences.^[3] Its aim is to "promote and financially support the most promising young researchers" in the field ofmathematics. It was founded in 2009 and is named in honour of a renowned Polish mathematicianStefan Banach (1892-1945). The laureates of the award also receive a cash prize ofzl 25,000 (c.$6,500). List of laureates:
