German Mathematical Society

(Redirected from Jahresbericht der Deutschen Mathematiker-Vereinigung)

The German Mathematical Society (German: Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung, DMV) is the main professional society of German mathematicians and represents German mathematics within the European Mathematical Society (EMS) and the International Mathematical Union (IMU). It was founded in 1890 in Bremen with the set theorist Georg Cantor as first president. Founding members included Georg Cantor, Felix Klein, Walther von Dyck, David Hilbert, Hermann Minkowski, Carl Runge, Rudolf Sturm, Hermann Schubert, and Heinrich Weber.[1]

Activities

edit

In honour of its founding president, Georg Cantor, the society awards the Cantor Medal. The DMV publishes two scientific journals, the Jahresbericht der DMV and Documenta Mathematica. It also publishes a quarterly magazine for its membership the Mitteilungen der DMV.[2] The annual meeting of the DMV is called the Jahrestagung; the DMV traditionally meets every four years together with the Austrian Mathematical Society (ÖMG) and every four years together with the Gesellschaft für Didaktik der Mathematik (GDM). It sometimes organises its meetings jointly with other societies (e.g., 2014 with the Polish Mathematical Society, PTM, or 2016 with the Gesellschaft für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, GAMM). Twice annually, it organises the Gauß Lecture, a public audience lecture by well-known mathematicians.[3]
