Hu Dunfu served as its first president. The society published ''Journal of Chinese Mathematical Society'', and a math promoting magazine, ''Mathematics Magazine''. In 1952 and 1953, these two journals was renamed ''Acta Mathematica Sinica'', and '' Mathematics Letters''. The CMS was originally located at the China Science Society at 533 Albert Road (now South Shaanxi Road) in Shanghai. After est ...

Academy Of Mathematics And Systems Science, CAS (20230911112558)
An academy (Attic Greek: Ἀκαδήμεια; Koine Greek Ἀκαδημία) is an institution of tertiary education. The name traces back to Plato's school of philosophy, founded approximately 386 BC at Akademia, a sanctuary of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and Skills, skill, north of Ancient Athens, Athens, Greece.

China Science Society
The Science Society of China (, 1915-1960) was a major science organization in the modern history of China. It was initiated by Chinese students at Cornell University in 1914, including P.C. King, H. C. Zen, Zhou Ren, Hsingfo Yang and later renamed Science Society of China. In 1915 it began publication in China of a major journal, ''Kexue'' (''Science''), which was patterned on the journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In 1918 Science Society of China founded headquarters in Nanjing. In 1922 the Society established a major biological research laboratory in Nanjing. The Society devoted itself to the popularization of science, the improvement of science education, the standardization in Chinese translation of scientific vocabularies, and participation in international scientific meetings. It was the leading scientific organization in China prior to the establishment of government-sponsored Academia Sinica (1928) and Chinese Academy of Sciences (1949). ...
