Periodicals published by the Society:
The Indian Mathematical Society publishes two periodicals:

The Jourmal of the Indian Mathematical Society
( J. Ind. Math. Soc., JIMS; the Journal ; ISSN 0019-5839 )

and

The Mathematics Student (Math Student)
( Math Student ; ISSN 0025-5742 )

both of which are quarterly.
The Journal of the Indian Mathematical Society (ISSN 0019-5839):

* Only the research papers of high quality are published in the Journal .

The Society was founded in April, 1907 and since then it started publishing Progress Reports. The first Progress Report was published on September 1, 1907 and the second Progress Report was published on October 15, 1907. By December 1908, the Society had published 8 Progress Reports. In March 1908 a sub-committee was appointed to take steps for publication of a Journal and from 1909, the Progress reports were rechristened as Journal, and under the title 'The Jourmal of the Indian Mathematical Club the First issue appeared in February, 1909 . The title was then changed to its present title as 'The Jourmal of the Indian Mathematical Society and since then the journal appeared regularly every two months till 1933..The Founder Editor of the "Pregress reports" and later of the Journal was Professor M.T. Naranienger who continued till 1927 and nurtured it for 20 years. Then the Editorship of the journal was entrusted to Prof. R. Vaidyanathswamy who served the Society as the Editor of the Journal for 23 long years from 1927 to 1950. During his tenure of Editorship, the JIMS new series was started in 1934 and was turned in to a quarterly journal .

It was due to the hard work put in by these two pioneering editors that the JIMS established itself as one of the leading international journals - a position which it continues to have even today.

It may be noted with great pride that

• 1911 volume of this Journal contains earliest contributions of the great legendry mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. They were in the form of questions. In fact a fifteen page paper entitled “Some properties of Bernoulli Numbers” contributed by Ramanujan also appeared in the same 1911 volume of the Journal. In fact, he published 12 of his research papers in the Journal of Indian Mathematical Society .

• S. S. Pillai, another brilliant Indian mathematician, who almost solved the famous "Warring Problem", published 23 of his research papers in the Journal of Indian Mathemtical Society and 8 papers in the Mathematics Student .

The Mathematics Student ( ISSN 0025-5742 )

At the time of the silver jubilee celebrations of the Society on the occasion of completion of twenty five years of existence of the Indian Mathematical Society in 1932, it was decided to start the publication of another periodical and accordingly the Society started in 1933 a new periodical, named The Mathematics Student, with A. Narasinga Rao as its first Editor who worked as the founder editor almost single-handed with great devotion for eighteen years (1933-1950)and placed it on a firm footing.


For many years the Mathematics Student used to contain book reviews, announcements, news, notices, problems and solutions, reports of conerences of the Society, academic activities such as class-room notes and other materials considered to promote teaching of mathematics. It used to serve the the student community and beginning researchers by its critical treatment of different level mathematics. Students and Research scholars also used to contribute to it. Among the contributors to the problem section, special mension may be made of Prof. A.A. Krishnaswamy Iyenger, Prof. M.T. Naranienger, Professor K. Satyanarayana and shri D. R. Kaprekar.

Over the years the character of the Mathematics Student had changed and it turned almost completely in to a research journal.

It may be noted with great pride that

• A conference, first of its kind in Asia, entitled "South Asian Conference on Mathematical Education" under the directorship of K. Chandrasekharan was held at TIFR, Bombay during Feb, 1956 in which mathematicians like M. H. Stone, G . Choquet, H. Freudenthal and a host of other world mathematicians participated. The entire Proceedings of the conference has been published in the Mathematics Student Vol 54 (1956).

* Ordinarily the following is currently published in The Mathematics Student :

• the texts of Presidential Addresses, the Plenary Lectures and the Award Lectures delivered at the Annual Conferences,

• the abstracts of the research papers presented at the Annual Conferences,

• the texts of the invited talks delivered at the Annual Conferences,

• research papers, and

• the Proceedings of the Society’s Annual Conferences, Expository & Popular articles, Reports of IMS Sponsored lectures, etc.

Copyright : Copy right of the articles published in the Journal or the Student lies with the Indian Mathematical Society.

Reprints: Authors of the papers printed in the Journal and the Student are entitled to 20 reprints free of charge (only to the first author in case of a joint authorship).

With effect from Vol. 76 (2009) of the Journal and Vol.78 (2009) of the Mathematics Student, there are no page charges for publications in the Journal as well as the Mathematics Student
