The Union was founded on 2 March 1953 and held its first meeting with eleven short lectures on 28 September of that year.[2] Early members included Binyamin Amirà, Michael Fekete, and Abraham Fraenkel, who represented the Union at the 1954 International Congress of Mathematicians in Amsterdam, as well as Shmuel Agmon, Jacob Levitzki, and Dov Jarden.[2]

Prizes

The Israel Mathematical Union awards three major prizes:

Presidents
gollark: Multiplatform access is hardly an amazing thing given that open platforms tend to have perfectly good web clients. There are ones for XMPP and IRC.
gollark: <@160188199426195456> Discord is absolutely not in any way pro-privacy. Also, there exist bots to keep records, sooo...
gollark: There might have been one. But I don't believe there's any popular and well maintained implementation.
gollark: You want to win, after all, at a rate better than chance.
gollark: That's an entirely reasonable thing to do.
