The Kosovar Mathematical Society or KMS (Albanian: Shoqata e Matematikanëve të Kosovës, SHMK) is a mathematical society founded in Kosovo in 2008. The KMS is based in Pristina, and has been a member of the European Mathematical Society since 2012.[1][2]

History

[edit]

The Kosovar Mathematical Society was founded on 22 August 2008 in Pristina, the same year that Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia.[3][2] The society was founded by Qëndrim Gashi [sq], who served as the first president.[2] Gashi later worked as the Kosovan ambassador to France.[2]

Activities and publications

[edit]

Since 2011 the KMS has coordinated the Kosovan entry at the International Mathematical Olympiad.[4] It sometimes faces financial difficulties in doing so.[5] The society does not take part in the Balkan Mathematical Olympiad for political reasons.[6]

The Kosovar Mathematical Society publishes the Bulletin of Mathematical Analysis and Applications jointly with the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of the University of Pristina.[2] The Bulletin is published in English, has been purely electronic since its founding in 2009, and is indexed by zbMATH.[7]

Presidents

[edit]

The Kosovar Mathematical Society has had 5 presidents since its founding.[8]

  • Qëndrim Gashi [sq] (2008–2011)
  • Qamil Haxhibeqiri (2012–2015)
  • Muhib Lohaj (2016–2018)
