Knowra American Mathematical Society American Mathematical Society The American Mathematical Society is a professional organization that supports mathematical research and communication through publications, meetings, awards, and advocacy.
Notices of the American Mathematical Society : A monthly magazine covering mathematical news, society activities, and expository articles. The Society's flagship magazine brings mathematical developments and organizational news to a broad audience.
New York Mathematical Society : A mathematical society founded in New York City in 1888 and renamed the American Mathematical Society in 1894. The AMS began as this local society before adopting a national scope and name.
Julia Robinson : An American mathematician whose work on Hilbert's tenth problem helped establish its undecidability. Robinson became the first woman president of the AMS, in 1982.
Professional association : An organization that represents people in a profession and supports their shared interests and standards. The AMS is a discipline-specific example of this organizational form.
Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics : A professional society advancing applied mathematics, computational science, and their applications. SIAM emphasizes applied and computational work, while the AMS spans mathematical research broadly.
Mathematical Reviews : A reviewing service that provides abstracts and evaluations of mathematical research publications. The Society operates this service, whose MathSciNet database helps researchers find and assess literature.
Thomas Fiske : An American mathematician who helped found the New York Mathematical Society and served as its first president. Fiske's organizing and editorial work helped establish the institution that became the AMS.
Michael Artin : A German-American mathematician known for influential work in algebraic geometry and noncommutative algebra. Artin's 1998–1999 AMS presidency reflects the Society's leadership by research mathematicians.
Mathematical research : The creation and validation of new mathematical knowledge through proof, modeling, and related inquiry. Supporting this activity is the central purpose behind many AMS programs.
National Council of Teachers of Mathematics : A professional organization supporting mathematics teaching and learning, especially in schools. NCTM centers school mathematics education, unlike the AMS's primary focus on research.
