History

The Chinese Mathematical Society (CMS) was founded in July 1935 in Shanghai. The inaugural conference was held in the library of Shanghai Jiao Tong University on July 25, and 33 attended the meeting. Its founding members included Hu Dunfu, Feng Zuxun, Zhou Meiquan, Jiang Lifu, Xiong Qinglai, Chen Jiangong, Su Buqing, Jiang Zehan, Qian Baozong, and Fu Zhongsun. The society published academic journal Journal of Chinese Mathematical Society, and a math promoting magazine, Mathematics Magazine. In 1952 and 1953, these two journals was renamed Acta Mathematica Sinica, and Mathematics Letters.

After formation, the office of CMS was located in China Science Society in 533 Ya'erpei Rd (now, South Shaaxi Rd) in Shanghai. After establishment of the People's Republic of China, the Society was moved to Institute of Mathematics of Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing. Currently, CMS is affiliated to the Institute of Mathematics and System Science of CAS.

Chinese Mathematical Society held 1st to 4th national conferences in August 1951, February 1960, November 1978, and October 1983, and in the cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu and Wuhan, respectively. Hua Luogeng was the president of first three conferences. In the 4th conference, Hua Luogeng, Su Buqing, Jiang Zehan, Wu Daren and Ke Zhao were elected honorary presidents. The presidents of 4th to 8th conferences were Wu Wenjun, Wang Yuan, Yang Le, Zhang Gongqing and Ma Zhiming.

CMS 50th anniversary conference was held in Shanghai in December 1985. Zhou Peiyuan and Zhou Guangzhao attended and delivered speeches. World-renowned mathematicians Shiing-shen Chern and Henri Cartan were also invited. In May 1995, the CMS 7th National Conference & 60 Anniversary Conference was held in Beijing. Zhu Guangya and Lu Yongxiang attended, and Shiing-shen Chern and Shing-Tung Yau were invited to give research talks.

Currently the Society has members of over 50,000.
