History
The society was established in Kraków, Poland on 2 April 1919 . It was originally called the Mathematical Society in Kraków, the name was changed to the Polish Mathematical Society on 21 April 1920. It was founded by 16 mathematicians, StanisÅaw Zaremba, Franciszek Leja, Alfred Rosenblatt, Stefan Banach and Otto Nikodym were among them.[1]
Ever since its foundation, the society's main activity was to bring mathematicians together by means of organizing conferences and lectures. The second main activity is the publication of its annals Annales Societatis Mathematicae Polonae, consisting of:
- Series 1: Commentationes Mathematicae
- Series 2: WiadomoÅci Matematyczne ("Mathematical News"), in Polish
- Series 3: Mathematica Applicanda (formerly Matematyka Stosowana until 2012)
- Series 4: Fundamenta Informaticae
- Series 5: Didactica Mathematicae
- Series 6: Antiquitates Mathematicae
- Series 7: Delta, in Polish
The annals are also known under the Polish name Roczniki Polskiego Towarzystwa Matematycznego and under the English name Polish Mathematical Society Annals.

International Stefan Banach Prize
The International Stefan Banach Prize (Polish: MiÄdzynarodowa Nagroda im. Stefana Banacha) is an annual award presented by the Mathematical Society to mathematicians for best doctoral dissertations in the mathematical sciences.[3] Its aim is to "promote and financially support the most promising young researchers" in the field of mathematics. It was founded in 2009 and is named in honour of a renowned Polish mathematician Stefan Banach (1892-1945). The laureates of the award also receive a cash prize of zl 25,000 (c.$6,500).
