Description
Mathematical Society of Serbia (MSS) was founded on January 4, 1948, and this year marks 75 years of work. It is a holder of numerous activities in the domain of mathematics and computing at the national and international level.
MSS initiated a series of activities aimed at improving the status of mathematics and mathematicians. On the initiative of MSS, the Mathematical Grammar School was established in Belgrade. The Society continuously works on the professional development of mathematics and informatics teachers through accredited seminars.
MSS is the holder and implementer of a large number of different projects, within which many open educational resources were created ("eCollection" platforms, "Final Exam", etc.). The "Final Exam" project was awarded at the international competition "Zero Project 2020" organized by the Essl Foundation and the United Nations in Vienna.
Competitions of young mathematicians organized by MSS are the oldest and most massive professional competitions for students in our country. MSS organizes summer and winter schools, as well as the trips for our students to 9 international Olympiads in mathematics and informatics, where they regularly achieve outstanding results.
MSS publishes the recognized scientific journals Matematički vesnik and The Teaching of Mathematics, the professional journal Nastava matematike, and two popular magazines for young people, Matematicki list and Tangenta. It organized 14 national congresses of mathematicians and supported the organization of more than 20 international symposia and conferences.
MSS is an active member of the International Mathematical Union, the European Mathematical Society and the Mathematical Society of Southeast Europe.
For its activities, in 2023, MSS was awarded the Sveti Sava Award and the Golden Sretenje Medal for exceptional contribution and achieved results in the system of education and science in the Republic of Serbia.
