The '''Pakistan Mathematical Society''' ({{langx|ur|پاکستان ریاضیاتی معاشرہ}}, Acronym: '''PakMS'''), is a learned society for mathematical sciences, possibly the largest learned society of its own kind to promote mathematics in the country. It is a non-profit organization. The Pakistan Mathematical Society is an association of professional mathematicians dedicated to promote mathematical science and research and interest in the country.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Pakistan Mathematical Society |url=http://www.mathguide.de/cgi-bin/ssgfi/anzeige.pl/db=math/st=so1/ct=PK}} </ref> The organization annually published various publications, supports conferences and workshops.
== History ==
15th May 2001, Mathematicians at Quaid-e-Azam University convened a moot at the Best Western Hotel in Islamabad.<ref>{{Cite web| title =History of the PakMS | url =http://www.pakms.org.pk/history.htm }}</ref> The PakMS applied for registration on 16 November 2001.

The PakMS publishes quarterly [https://www.pakms.org.pk/newsletter.htm newsletter], known as PakMS Newsletter (ISSN 1816-1925). It is free of cost and posted at the website of the Society. It is also exchanged with the mathematical societies with whom PakMS has reciprocity arrangements. In March 2002, first issue was published. The Society published two issues in the first year and three issues in the second year. Afterwards, the society has been publishing four issues every year.<ref>{{Cite web |title=PAKISTAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY |url=http://www.pakms.org.pk/newsletter.htm}}</ref>
