The Pakistan Council for Science and Technology has recently published its first book listing all the Non Governmental Organizations in Science and Technology in Pakistan. There are over 40,000 registered NGOs as well as a significant number of unregistered NGOs in Pakistan. PCST short-listed 680 NGOs on the basis of their activities. Only 115 NGOs were considered as having engaged in S & T. PakMS is the only mathematical organization that is amongst these 115. This is a yet another testimony of the legitimacy and the good performance of the Society..

PakMS publishes its quarterly newsletter every January, April, July, and October. It is distributed free of cost to its members, scientists, and relevant organizations. A soft copy of the newsletter is available at this website also. News items and articles of suitable length can be submitted for publication in the newsletters to Dr Muhammad Ashiq through e-mail ashiqjaved@yahoo.co.uk.

Currently, the annual membership fee of the Pakistan Mathematical Society is Rs 300.00. Membership is renewable by 31st December. Membership of those who are unable to pay by 31st January of the next year will be suspended and they will not be able to enjoy privileges of the membership until the membership fee is paid.

A member residing in Islamabad can pay the fee through cheques drawn in favour of PakMS and send them by post to Mr Nasir Siddiqui, Department of Mathematics, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad. Those residing elsewhere can pay either through the Focal Representatives of the Society in the provincial capitals of the country or directly to the Treasurer of the Society.

The 20th National Seminar on Mathematics was held on 20th February 2010. Prof. Dr. Kamal-ud-Din Ahmad delivered the seminar on “Super Symmetries”. The seminar was be arranged at the Preston University, Islamabad. The seminar was attended by members of the Society, M.Phil. and Ph.D. scholars, scientists and educators.

PakMS organizes four national seminars on general topics in mathematics. These seminars are organized in January, April, July and October. Invitations, which include information about the title, are sent by post to all members of the Society and scientists residing in Islamabad and Rawalpindi.

The PakMS has received support from the Higher Education Commission, Pakistan Science Foundation, Pakistan Telecommunication Company Ltd and various sponsoring public and private universities so far. Their support has enabled the Society to have profound impact on mathematics in Pakistan. In order to enhance its activities, the Society needs extra financial sources. Therefore PakMS requests individuals, corporations, or foundations for donations. PakMS has the unique status of a registered mathematical organization in Pakistan and therefore will issue official receipts for all donations received.

The 12th IPMC 2011 will be held from 29 to 31 July 2011 in Islamabad. The venue will be announced later. The registration for the conference is now open. Those who are interested in participating in the conference are requested to visit the conference website www.pmc.org.pk.

Seminars on topics in advanced algebra, especially in advanced group theory and on popular topics in general mathematics are organized by Professor Q.Mushtaq's research group in Room 29, Department of Mathematics, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad every Tuesday at 11.30 am. All interested are welcome to join the activity. For further details Miss Ayesha Rafiq may be reached through e-mail ayesha_rafiq@live.com.

The Pakistan Mathematical Society has signed reciprocity agreement with the Australian Mathematical Society.

Professor Dr Qaiser Mushtaq has been pursuing a PakMS linkup with the Canadian Mathematical Society. As a result, PakMS gladly announces that it has recently entered into a reciprocity agreement with the Canadian Mathematical Society.

The Pakistan Mathematical Society has now been linked with the International Mathematical Union.
