in the country. The society annually published various publications, and held conferences and talk programs at local and national level.The first president the Nepal Mathematical Society is Prof. Dhup Ratana Bajracharya.

History

Establishment of an Institute for enhancing mathematical research and education through sound activities was realized in 2019 B.S. The informal discussion happened between and among the most enthusiastic mathematicians and students of the Master's degree program in a picnic program in 2019 B.S. Primarily those parental figures of the institution were Prof. Ashutosh Ganguly, Prof. Krishna Murari Saxena, Prof. Govinda Dev Pant, Prof. Keshav Dev Bhattarai, Prof. Dhup Ratna Bajracharya including the students Ram Man Shrestha, Shankar Raj Pant. The very society got its legal existence in 2035/10/05 B.S.
