Round Table Conference

Symposium

Mathematical Quiz Competition

Round Table Conference

The PakMS has organized a round table conference on 4th November 2004.

The future of mathematics in Pakistan is at stake. There are certain government policies, which do not suit mathematics. There is therefore a need to discuss these and put forward collectively our proposals to the government. It is for this purpose that the Pakistan Mathematical Society decided to organize a round-table conference on 4th November 2002. The agenda of the conference was:

		i.				Research Productivity Allowance,
		ii.				Criterion for rating mathematicians, and
		iii.				Involvement of mathematicians in the policy-making process.

As a result, a resolution comprising the point of view of the mathematical community was submitted to the Higher Education Commission, Pakistan Council for Science & Technology, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Science and Technology.

Symposium

The PakMS has organized a symposium on Leonhard Euler on 12^th June 2006.

A symposium was held at the auditorium of the Pakistan Science Foundation (PSF) to mark the 300th birth anniversary of the renowned Swiss mathematician, Leonhard Euler. The chief guest at the occasion was the deputy head of the Swiss Embassy in Islamabad, Mr. K.Obolensky.

The symposium was organized in collaboration with the Pakistan Science Foundation. The chairman PSF and Scientist Emeritus, Dr. M. M. Butt, inaugurated the symposium.

Amongst the speakers at the symposium were Professor M. Riazuddin, Director, National Centre for Physics, Professor Dr Qaiser Mushtaq, President, Pakistan Mathematical Society and Professor at Quaid-i-Azam University, Professor Dr M.Sarwar Kamran, Riphah International University, and Dr Khalid Rashid, Bahria University.

Mathematical Quiz Competition

Federal Government College for Women, G-10/4, Islamabad organized a Mathematical Quiz Competition on 30th November 2007 under the auspices of the Pakistan Mathematical Society. The Pakistan Mathematical Society conferred awards to the winners in the competition on 15th December 2007. Maj Gen (Retd) Syed Mukhtar Shah, Director General, National Institute of Science and Technical Education, Islamabad was the Chief Guest.
