The Kosovar Mathematical Society or KMS (Albanian: Shoqata e Matematikanëve të Kosovës , SHMK ) is a mathematical society founded in Kosovo in 2008.
The KMS is based in Pristina , and has been a member of the European Mathematical Society since 2012.[ 1] [ 2]
History
The Kosovar Mathematical Society was founded on 22 August 2008 in Pristina , the same year that Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia .[ 3] [ 2] The society was founded by Qëndrim Gashi [sq ] , who served as the first president.[ 2] Gashi later worked as the Kosovan ambassador to France.[ 2]
Activities and publications
Since 2011 the KMS has coordinated the Kosovan entry at the International Mathematical Olympiad .[ 4] It sometimes faces financial difficulties in doing so.[ 5] The society does not take part in the Balkan Mathematical Olympiad for political reasons.[ 6]
The Kosovar Mathematical Society publishes the Bulletin of Mathematical Analysis and Applications jointly with the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of the University of Pristina .[ 2] The Bulletin is published in English, has been purely electronic since its founding in 2009, and is indexed by zbMATH .[ 7]

The Kosovar Mathematical Society has had 5 presidents since its founding.[ 8]
