Ramanujan Mathematical Society
The society is an Indian learned society founded in 1990 to promote mathematical research and education, drawing inspiration from Srinivasa Ramanujan and interacting with institutions such as the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Indian Statistical Institute, and University of Cambridge. It engages with scholars associated with institutions like Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Princeton University, University of Oxford, and Stanford University while collaborating with publishers such as Springer, Cambridge University Press, and Elsevier. The society maintains connections with individuals from institutions including University of Mumbai, University of Delhi, Indian Institute of Science, and Indian Institutes of Technology.
The society was established in 1990 by mathematicians influenced by figures such as Srinivasa Ramanujan, G. H. Hardy, J. E. Littlewood, and D. R. Kaprekar, with early participation from faculty at University of Mumbai, Pune University, and Banaras Hindu University. Founding members included academics who had ties to Cambridge, Trinity College, Harvard, and Princeton, and who collaborated with research centers like Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Indian Statistical Institute, and Institute of Mathematical Sciences. Over time the society broadened its network to include connections with University of Calcutta, University of Madras, University of Hyderabad, Aligarh Muslim University, and universities in the United States such as Yale University, Columbia University, and University of Chicago. The society’s development paralleled initiatives at institutions like the National Board for Higher Mathematics, Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, and Department of Atomic Energy, while interacting with international bodies including International Mathematical Union, European Mathematical Society, and American Mathematical Society.
The society aims to foster research inspired by classical work from Ramanujan, Hardy, Littlewood, and Riemann while encouraging modern work linked to Hilbert, Noether, Grothendieck, and Serre. Activities promote collaboration among scholars from Indian Institutes of Technology, Indian Institute of Science, Banaras Hindu University, University of Pune, and University of Delhi, and with international centers such as MIT, Stanford, Oxford, and Cambridge. It organizes interactions that bring together participants with expertise in algebraic geometry associated with Grothendieck, number theory following Hardy and Dirichlet, analysis relating to Fourier and Lebesgue, topology following Poincaré and Alexander, and combinatorics linked to Euler and Cayley. The society supports researchers working in areas represented by names like Euler, Gauss, Poisson, Cauchy, and Lagrange, and interfaces with publishers and research councils such as Springer, Elsevier, Cambridge University Press, Royal Society, and National Science Foundation.
The society publishes journals and monographs featuring work by mathematicians connected to institutions such as Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Indian Statistical Institute, Institute of Mathematical Sciences, and international universities including Princeton, Harvard, Cambridge, and Oxford. Published series have included contributions influenced by classical texts like Ramanujan’s notebooks, Hardy’s collected papers, and works relating to Gauss, Riemann, and Euler. Collaborating editors have hailed from University of Mumbai, University of Delhi, Banaras Hindu University, Indian Institute of Science, and IISc, and international contributors from Yale, Columbia, and ETH Zurich. The society’s periodicals appear alongside comparable titles from American Mathematical Society, London Mathematical Society, European Mathematical Society, and Cambridge University Press, and attract submissions referencing results by Noether, Grothendieck, Serre, Weil, and Langlands.
The society confers awards and prizes recognizing contributions in mathematics, honoring achievements reminiscent of recipients of the Fields Medal, Abel Prize, and the Nevanlinna Prize, and acknowledging work in areas linked to Ramanujan, Hardy, Littlewood, and Dyson. Prizes are presented at meetings attended by scholars from Indian Institutes of Technology, Indian Institute of Science, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, and international institutions such as Princeton, Harvard, and Cambridge. Awardees have included researchers whose careers intersect with themes from algebraic geometry associated with Grothendieck, analytic number theory associated with Vinogradov, and combinatorics influenced by Erdős and Tutte.
The society organizes conferences and meetings in cities like Pune, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata, and Hyderabad, often in collaboration with universities such as University of Pune, University of Mumbai, Indian Institute of Science, and Indian Statistical Institute. International participants have come from institutions including Princeton University, Harvard University, Stanford University, University of Oxford, and University of Cambridge, and from organizations like International Mathematical Union, European Mathematical Society, and American Mathematical Society. The events cover topics reflecting traditions of Riemann, Hilbert, Euler, and Gauss, with invited lectures by scholars working in areas assembled around names like Langlands, Serre, Grothendieck, Wiles, and Perelman.
The society runs educational programs and outreach initiatives targeting students from institutions such as Indian Institutes of Technology, University of Pune, University of Mumbai, and regional colleges across Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, and Andhra Pradesh. Outreach partners have included National Board for Higher Mathematics, Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, and the Department of Science and Technology. Programs reference classical sources and figures such as Ramanujan’s notebooks, Hardy, Euler, Gauss, and Riemann, and engage mentors from universities including IIT Bombay, IIT Madras, IISc, University of Delhi, and Banaras Hindu University.
The society is governed by an elected executive committee with office-bearers drawn from universities and research institutes such as University of Pune, University of Mumbai, Indian Institute of Science, Indian Statistical Institute, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, and Indian Institutes of Technology. Governance practices reflect interactions with bodies including National Board for Higher Mathematics, Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, Department of Atomic Energy, and international counterparts like International Mathematical Union and European Mathematical Society. Advisory panels have featured mathematicians whose work relates to Hardy, Littlewood, Ramanujan, Riemann, Grothendieck, and Serre.
