From Pakzee

Pakistan Mathematical Society (PakMS) could be justifiably termed a brainchild of Prof. Dr. Qaiser Mushtaq who, realizing the absence of a national forum for mathematics, persuaded some of his colleagues and students to start an organization whose primary aim should be the development of mathematics education and reactivation of research activities in mathematics. Thus PakMS came into existence in the year 2000 under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Qaiser Mushtaq. The constitution of PakMS was approved and subsequently elections were held to elect its executive council to run its affairs. Later on the society was registered to make it an officially recognized organ of the mathematical community of Pakistan. To realize the primary objective of the society, national seminars, group discussions and international conferences on algebra, analysis, geometry and mechanics were regularly organized to provide impetus to the mathematical community to effect improvement in mathematics education and research activities. To get the society internationally recognized, the standard of these conferences is strictly maintained. As a consequence many outstanding mathematicians from different countries of the world participated in these annual international conferences supported by the society. The society also publishes a quarterly newsletter to keep the mathematical community abreast with the latest trends and happenings in the mathematical world. The newsletters have been a thumping success in realizing the objectives of the society. To extend the scope of mathematical activities, the society intends to add teachers training workshops, popular lectures, etc. on mathematical topics which have relevance to mathematics teachers. Furthermore, the society wishes to advance suggestions to the concerned quarters regarding the state of mathematics in Pakistan and updating of the present courses of study in mathematics. It is earnestly hoped that the society shall be able to fulfill its primary objectives by expanding its activities in the foregoing fashion. To help mathematics in general and research activities in particular, the PakMS intends to organize teacher training workshops, curriculum revision among various segments of mathematics teachers and give appraisal regarding the state of affairs of mathematics in Pakistan to the concerned quarters and advance suggestions for taking necessary steps for its improvement.
