Tunisian
Mathematical Society
A well-established and traditional society serving the mathematical community.
The current board of the Tunisian Mathematical Society (TMS), serving the term from April 2023 to March 2026, would like to express its sincere gratitude to all members for their continuous and valuable support. Warm thanks are also extended to all former boards for their excellent work in support of the Society and the broader mathematical community. The TMS is a non-profit association, officially recognized by its creation announcement published in the Journal Officiel de la République Tunisienne (JORT) on March 6, 1992. It is classified as a scientific association. The Society is governed by an executive committee composed of nine elected members: a President, a Vice-President, a Secretary General, a Treasurer, and five additional members with designated roles: Deputy Secretary General, Deputy Treasurer, Member for External Relations, Member for University Relations, and Member for Information. The TMS brings together university faculty, doctoral candidates, and early-career researchers focused on mathematics and its interactions with various scientific and technical disciplines.
Objectives of the TMS
The objectives of the Tunisian Mathematical Society (TMS) are:
– To contribute to the development of mathematical research and to promote the learning and application of mathematics.
– To support the dissemination of research and scientific achievements through the organization of national and international scientific events, and the publication of journals specialized in mathematics and its applications.
– To bring together Tunisian mathematicians through effective communication, increased membership, sponsorship of various activities, and partnerships with professional associations.
– To make proposals aimed at improving the teaching of mathematics in higher education institutions.
– To establish cooperation with national and international scientific associations.
Members
Any university-level mathematics researcher or young researcher is eligible to become a member of the TMS. Both individual and institutional memberships are available through the membership section on the TMS website. For members residing outside Tunisia, fees may vary.

– The TMS currently has reciprocity agreements with several mathematical societies.
– Cooperation agreements have been signed with: the Swiss Mathematical Society, the Société Mathématique de France, the Portuguese Mathematical Society, the Mathematical Society of Japan, the Bulgarian Mathematical Society, the Canadian Mathematical Society, the Royal Spanish Mathematical Society, and the Southern Africa Mathematical Sciences Association.
– The TMS is a member of the International Mathematical Union.
Activities
– Organization of an annual international TMS congress aimed at promoting and disseminating mathematical research results in Tunisia.
– Encouraging and supporting specialized mathematics conferences.
– Supporting the two Tunisian mathematics journals indexed since June 2023: Advances in Pure and Applied Mathematics, launched by the TMS in 2009, and the Tunisian Journal of Mathematics, organized by the TMS since 2019.
– Establishing cooperation agreements with other mathematical societies.
TMS Newsletter
The TMS has been publishing monthly newsletters since September 2003. From 2003 to 2016, the newsletters were distributed in print format. Starting in 2017, to make them more easily and quickly accessible to the mathematical community, the newsletter transitioned to a digital format.
The newsletter provides an overview of all mathematical activities taking place in Tunisia each month, including conferences, seminars, and guest lectures held in research laboratories. It is also published on the Society’s website. Annual volumes compiling all newsletters from the year are available online.
Anyone interested may register on the Society’s website to receive the newsletter. All individuals listed in the TMS directory automatically receive the newsletter each month.
