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.
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. It publishes a bulletin three times a year. The logo of the SMS contains the third iteration of the Koch snowflake, which was first described by Swedish mathematician Helge von Koch in 1904.
Presidents
The first president of the Swedish Mathematical Society was Arne Beurling, and the second president was Åke Pleijel. The Swedish Mathematical Society elects a new president every two years, and traditionally each president works at a different mathematics department from their predecessor. The current president of the SMS is Volodymyr Mazorchuk.
Wallenberg Prize
Since 1983 the Swedish Mathematical Society has awarded its Wallenberg Prize to Swedish mathematicians that have a Ph.D. but no permanent research position. The winner is the main speaker at the autumn meeting of the society.
