János Bolyai Mathematical Society

The János Bolyai Mathematical Society (Bolyai János Matematikai Társulat, BJMT) is the Hungarian mathematical society, named after János Bolyai, a 19th-century Hungarian mathematician, a co-discoverer of non-Euclidean geometry. It is the professional society of the Hungarian mathematicians, applied mathematicians, and mathematics teachers. It was founded in 1947, as one of the two successor societies of the Mathematical and Physical Society (Matematikai és Fizikai Társulat) founded in 1891. It is a member-society of the European Mathematical Society.

Not to be confused with János Bolyai Mathematical Institute.

Competitions
gollark: … no?
gollark: There are many other issues but that's one of them.
gollark: I'm probably going to university in about two years. The ones here cost much, much less. Thus no.
gollark: Or all the random countries with dictatorships and whatnot, but sure.
gollark: I sometimes get annoyed about living here given that the UK has many problems, but then I remember that actually quite a lot of countries have terrible governance too and ours is among the less bad.
