Austrian Mathematical Society

The Austrian Mathematical Society, shortly ÖMG, is the professional association of Mathematicians in Austria. It is a scientific association ( ZVR number 713 660 073 ) for the promotion of teaching, research and application of mathematics in Austria. President of the ÖMG is Michael Drmota.

History

The company was founded in 1903 by the university professors Ludwig Boltzmann, Gustav von Escherich and Emil Müller under the name Mathematical Society in Vienna.

After the Second World War, the company started its activities in May 1946 again. On 10 August 1946 she was formally re-established by Rudolf Inzinger. In order to document their claim to national representation of the interests of mathematicians, it was renamed in the fall of 1948 in Austrian Mathematical Society.

Activity

Every four years, organized the ÖMG at one of the eleven Austrian universities a mathematician Congress with international participation. Usually keeps in the years in which the Austrian Congress of Mathematicians will be held, and the German Mathematical Society its annual meeting during the Congress from.

Also every four years, but alternately with the Austrian mathematician congresses, a mathematician meeting or a neighborhood meeting will be held in cooperation with a neighboring country.

As part of each of these congresses and meetings a didactic day will be held for the special interests of teachers in secondary schools and universities of school. In addition, each year didactic training events are organized with the support of ÖMG.

The ÖMG is a member of the International Mathematical Union ( IMU), the European Mathematical Society (EMS ) and the International Congress on Industrial and Applied Mathematics ( ICIAM ).

Prices

The ÖMG awards as the most important price every year the Scholarship Prize of the Austrian Mathematical Society at a younger member who is especially qualified by his research. In addition, the ÖMG annually awards two academic prices (one each for the best diploma thesis and the best dissertation ), and student awards for outstanding faculty work in Austrian schools in mathematics and descriptive geometry.

Publications

The club magazine International Mathematical News of the Austrian Mathematical Society is published three times a year. It was founded in June 1947 by Rudolf Inzinger as news of the Mathematical Society in Vienna and published in June 1947 for the first time. Since 1952, the journal is published under the current title. Until 1971 it was official organ of the International Mathematical Union. From 1953 to 1977 Walter Wunderlich supervised them as a publisher, who had been since the founding editor of the news.

The Austrian Mathematical Society is the publisher Springer Science Business Media out the Monatshefte für Mathematik.
