Mathematical Society of Japan

The Mathematical Society of Japan (MSJ, Japanese: 日本数学会) is a learned society for mathematics in Japan.

In 1877, the organization was established as the Tokyo Sugaku Kaisha and was the first academic society in Japan. It was re-organized and re-established in its present form in 1946.

The MSJ has roughly 5,000 members.[1] They have the opportunity to participate in programs at MSJ meetings which take place in spring and autumn each year. They also have the opportunity to announce their own research at these meetings.

Prizes

Iyanaga Prize

The Iyanaga Prize was a mathematics award granted by the Mathematical Society of Japan.[2] The prize was funded through an endowment given by Shokichi Iyanaga.[3] Since 1988, it has been replaced by the Spring Prize.

Geometry Prize

The Geometry Prize is a mathematics award granted by the Mathematical Society of Japan to recognise significant or long-time research work in the field of geometry, including differential geometry, topology, and algebraic geometry. It was established in 1987.[4]

Takebe Prize

In the context of its 50th anniversary celebrations, the Mathematical Society of Japan established the Takebe Prize for the encouragement of those who show promise as mathematicians. The award is named after Edo period mathematician Takebe Katahiro (建部賢弘, 1664-1739) (also known as Takebe Kenkō).[5]
