The society PROVIDES professional development activities, information and educational resources for mathematics, increases participation of students from other institutes as well.  The society aims to PROMOTE public information and general education about the nature of mathematics, discovery and results and implications of latest research. It also INFORMS students about new scientific knowledge, recent developments and emerging opportunities in mathematics research and their implications.
