Statement

The International Association of Mathematical Physics (IAMP) was founded in 1976 in order to promote research in mathematical physics. The Association invites mathematicians and physicists (including students) interested in this goal to become members.

The Association sponsors a Congress every three years (in 1994 the meeting was held at UNESCO in Paris, and in 1997 was held at the University in Brisbane). The Association also publishes this Web site, as well as a news bulletin sent to members three times each year. The bulletin includes advertisements of positions in mathematical physics as well as announcements of other news and activities of the Association.

Membership supports the activities of the Association. One special advantage of membership is steep discounts on personal subscriptions to several journals and on certain books. These include Communications in Mathematical Physics and Letters in Mathematical Physics.

Applications for ordinary membership may be made on the Web. Dues are quite modest (now $20/year for ordinary members, payable in different currencies as well as by credit card). Present students engaged in research in mathematics or in physics, and sponsored by two current members, will be inscribed for their first year as ordinary members without fee.

Associate membership in the Association is available to certain organizations including other Societies and Publishers. Associate members may use our membership list and may advertise without charge in the bulletin of the Association. Please send a message to the President for further information concerning Associate membership.
