The Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS) is an association of professional mathematicians dedicated to the interests of mathematical research, outreach, and scholarship and education in Canada. It serves the national community through the publication of academic journals, community bulletins, and the administration of mathematical competitions.
It was originally conceived in June 1945 as the Canadian Mathematical Congress. A name change was debated for many years; ultimately, a new name was adopted in 1979, upon its incorporation as a non-profit charitable organization.
The society is also affiliated with various national and international mathematical societies, including Canadian Applied and Industrial Mathematics Society (CAIMS) and Society of Applied and Industrial Mathematics Society. The society is also a member of the International Mathematical Union (IMU) and the International Council for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM).
The flagship publications of the CMS are the prominent, peer-reviewed research journals Canadian Journal of Mathematics, which is intended for full research papers, and the Canadian Mathematical Bulletin, which publishes shorter papers. All past issues except the last five volumes are free to download. Access to the most recent research requires a subscription.
The CMS also publishes ten issues per year of Crux Mathematicorum[1] which contains problem-solving challenges and techniques suitable for training in secondary school (high school) problem solving competitions such as the Canadian Mathematical Olympiad or the International Mathematical Olympiad. All past issues except the last five volumes are free to download and use.
