Periodicals published by the Society:

The Indian Mathematical Society publishes two periodicals:

The Jourmal of the Indian Mathematical Society
( JIMS; the Journal ; ISSN 0019-5839 )

and

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

both of which are quarterly.

The Society was founded in April, 1907 and published its first Progress Report on the 1st of September, 1907 and the second Progress Report on the 15th of October 1907. In March 1908 a sub-committee was appointed to take steps for publication of a Journal. By December 1908 the Society had published 8 Progress Reports. The first Pamphlet, under the title 'The Jourmal of the Indian Mathematical Club appeared in February, 1909 and since then the journal appeared regularly every two months till 1933. At the time of silver jubilee of the Socity it was decided to start the publication of two periodicals. As a result there of the JIMS new series was started in 1934 and it was turned in to a Quarterly journal. The Founder-Editor of the journal was Professor M.T. Naranienger who continued till 1927 and nurtured it for 20 years. The next Editor was Prof. R. Vaidyanathswamy who served the Society as Editor of the Journal of the Indian Mathematical Society from 1927 to 1950. It was due to the hard work put in by the first two Editors that the JIMS established itself as one of the leading international journals - a position which it continues to have even today.

At the time of the silver jubilee celebrations of the Society it was decided to start the publication of another periodical and accordingly the Society started a new journal, The Mathematics Student, in 1933, with Dr. A. Narasingha Rao as its first editor. 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 of student associations in Colleges and Universities and other materials calculated to promote teaching of mathematics such as class-room notes. It used to serve the the student community by its critical treatment of college and University mathematics. Under-graduate students and beginning 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. Dr. A. Narasinga Rao worked as the editor almost single-handed and with great devotion for 18 years (1933-1950)and placed it on a firm footing. Over the years the character of the STUDENT had changed and it turned almost completely in to a research journal. However, since 1986, the original character of the STUDENT has been restored and it has once again started catering to the needs of the students and the teachers.
