Society of Mathematicians, Physicists and Astronomers of Slovenia
Encyclopedia
The Society of Mathematicians, Physicists and Astronomers of Slovenia (Slovene: Društvo matematikov, fizikov in astronomov Slovenije, DMFA) is the main Slovene society in the field of mathematics
, physics
and astronomy
.
The Society is occupied with pedagogical activity and with the popularization of mathematics, recreational mathematics
, physics, astronomy and with organizing competitions at all levels of education.
It takes care of publicistic and editorial activity, where we should mention its gazette Obzornik za matematiko in fiziko (A Review for Mathematics and Physics), a magazine for secondary schools Presek (A Section), literary collection Sigma and other literary editions.
The current president of the Society is Sandi Klavžar and the vice-president is Nada Razpet.
The DMFA collaborates with the European Mathematical Society
(EMS), the European Physical Society
(EPS) and many other related societies around the world.
Mathematics
Mathematics is the study of quantity, space, structure, and change. Mathematicians seek out patterns and formulate new conjectures. Mathematicians resolve the truth or falsity of conjectures by mathematical proofs, which are arguments sufficient to convince other mathematicians of their validity...

Recreational mathematics
Recreational mathematics is an umbrella term, referring to mathematical puzzles and mathematical games.Not all problems in this field require a knowledge of advanced mathematics, and thus, recreational mathematics often attracts the curiosity of non-mathematicians, and inspires their further study...
