• Green initiative taken by the Society – A fervent appeal to all members of the Society

As a part of the “Green Initiative” taken by the Society (for further details, refer Society's website www.indianmathsociety.org.in), the Council of the Society has decided to send on line the soft copy of the Mathematics Student / give on line access to the Mathematics Student to all the Life members instead of supplying the hard copy. For this purpose, all the members of the Society are requested to register their e-mail address on line, along with Name and the Unique Membership Number therein, to J. R. Patadia on < imsgoesgreen@gmail.com > so that further necessary action can be taken.

* The soft copies of the following volumes of the recently published J. Indian Math. Soc. (JIMS), along with the full text of papers, can be accessed at
