Vietnam Mathematical Society is the principal scholarly association for mathematicians in Vietnam, bringing together researchers, educators, and students from institutions such as Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, Vietnam National University, Hanoi, Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi University of Science and Technology and Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology. The Society promotes mathematical research related to topics found in work by figures associated with Trần Đại Nghĩa, Ngô Tự Lập, Vũ Tuấn Cảnh and others, and it engages with international bodies such as the International Mathematical Union, Association for Women in Mathematics and Southeast Asian Mathematical Society. The Society organizes meetings and supports outreach connected to events like the International Congress of Mathematicians, International Mathematical Olympiad and regional conferences hosted in cities including Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Đà Nẵng and Huế.
The Society traces roots to pre-1975 mathematical groups at institutions such as University of Indochina and later formations during the era of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam; early activity involved collaborations with scholars linked to École Polytechnique exchanges and contacts with mathematicians from Soviet Union, France and China. In the 1980s and 1990s the Society expanded research networks with delegations to the International Mathematical Union and hosted workshops echoing themes from the International Congress of Mathematicians and postwar scientific reconstruction efforts. During the 2000s the Society strengthened ties to regional organizations including the Southeast Asian Mathematical Society and partnered with universities such as Can Tho University and Vietnam National University of Education to develop graduate programs influenced by curricula from University of Paris, Moscow State University and Stanford University visiting programs.
The Society is governed by an elected board modeled on learned societies like the American Mathematical Society and London Mathematical Society, with officers holding roles comparable to those in European Mathematical Society. Leadership has included presidents drawn from faculty at Hanoi National University of Education, Vietnam Military Technical Academy and research institutes associated with the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology. Committees oversee sections for algebra, analysis, geometry, topology and applied mathematics, coordinating with national bodies such as the Ministry of Science and Technology (Vietnam) and provincial universities in Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh, Hải Phòng and Cần Thơ.
Membership comprises academics, researchers and students affiliated with institutions like Institute of Mathematics (VAST), Hue University, University of Danang and foreign institutions through individual membership resembling structures used by the American Mathematical Society, Società Italiana di Matematica Applicata e Industriale and Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung. Activities include seminars, problem-solving circles influenced by the International Mathematical Olympiad model, topical working groups on subjects related to the research agendas of Gelfand School alumni and reading groups mirroring forums at Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques, Max Planck Institute for Mathematics and Clay Mathematics Institute.
The Society organizes national conferences and regional meetings hosted alongside universities such as Hanoi University, University of Science, VNU-HCM and Da Nang University of Science and Technology, and it has facilitated sessions at international venues with partners like the International Congress on Industrial and Applied Mathematics and Asian Mathematical Conference. Its publications include conference proceedings, translated monographs, and journals that follow editorial practices of publications such as the Journal of the American Mathematical Society, Acta Mathematica Vietnamica-style outlets and regional serials modeled on the Southeast Asian Bulletin. Proceedings have featured contributions referencing work in areas championed by scholars associated with Alexander Grothendieck, Serge Lang, David Hilbert and modern authors connected to collaborative networks with Japan, France, Russia and United States institutions.
The Society runs training programs for teachers and coaches of national teams preparing for the International Mathematical Olympiad and regional competitions like the Asian Pacific Mathematics Olympiad. It collaborates with teacher training schools such as Hanoi National University of Education and Ho Chi Minh City University of Education to develop curricula reflecting standards from International Baccalaureate-style problem solving and exchanges with programs at University of Cambridge, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and University of Tokyo. Outreach includes public lectures, school-level workshops in provinces like Nghệ An and Quảng Ninh, and summer research experiences inspired by models from the Research Experiences for Undergraduates program.
The Society maintains formal and informal partnerships with international organizations including the International Mathematical Union, European Mathematical Society, American Mathematical Society, Asian Mathematical Society and national academies such as the Royal Society and Académie des sciences. Collaborative projects have involved fellowships and visiting scholar exchanges with École Normale Supérieure, Peking University, Kyoto University, University of California, Berkeley and Harvard University, and joint workshops with institutions like the Institute for Advanced Study and Fields Institute.
The Society administers national awards for research and teaching analogous to prizes given by the Fields Institute affiliates and national academies; recipients have included mathematicians affiliated with Institute of Mathematics (VAST), Vietnam National University, Hanoi and Hanoi University of Science and Technology. It nominates Vietnamese candidates for international honors such as membership in the International Mathematical Union commissions and supports nominations to regional recognitions awarded by the Southeast Asian Mathematical Society and bilateral science award programs with partners like France and Japan.
