The Swedish Mathematical Society (Swedish: Svenska Matematikersamfundet, SMS) is a mathematical society founded in Sweden in 1950. It is a member of the European Mathematical Society and is recognised by the International Mathematics Union.[1][2]

The Swedish Mathematical Society organises two member meetings per year, awards the Wallenberg Prize annually, and organises conferences and scientific meetings with other mathematical societies.[3] It publishes a bulletin three times a year.[3] The logo of the SMS contains the third iteration of the Koch snowflake,[4] which was first described by Swedish mathematician Helge von Koch in 1904.[5]

Presidents

[edit | edit source]

The first president of the Swedish Mathematical Society was Arne Beurling, and the second president was Åke Pleijel.[6] The Swedish Mathematical Society elects a new president every two years, and traditionally each president works at a different mathematics department from their predecessor.[3] The current president of the SMS is Volodymyr Mazorchuk.[2]

Wallenberg Prize

[edit | edit source]

Since 1983 the Swedish Mathematical Society has awarded its Wallenberg Prize to Swedish mathematicians under 40 that have a Ph.D.[6] It is Sweden's most prestigious award for young mathematicians. The winner is the main speaker at the autumn meeting of the society.[3]

Past winners of the prize are:[7]
