History and Activities:

After long deliberations, it was decided to establish the Indian Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics. Professor Siddiqi was authorized to draft the constitution in consultation with the founder members, to enroll members and to get the society registered. The annual conference of the Indian Mathematical Society was held at Aligarh during the last week of December, 1991. Prof. Siddiqi was the Local organizing Secretary. On this occasion, a meeting of all enrolled members was convened and the constitution of the society was approved. The society organized its first Symposium during this conference. Professor Tery Rockafeller, U.S.A., and Professor Alain Bensoussan, President INRIA, France, were the Guests of Honour on this occasion. Professor J.N. Kapur was unanimously elected President and Professor Siddiqi was elected Secretary and they were authorized to nominate office-bearers and council members. In subsequent years office bearers of the society are elected according to the constitution of the society. On this occasion, it was also decided that the society would organize an International Workshop of Industrial Mathematics in collaboration with the Aligarh Muslim University Academic Staff College and Hamdard University, Delhi during 9-15 December, 1992. Although there was a lot of turmoil prior to this conference, especially in Northern India, the organizers still managed the workshop. 60 universities and college teachers from different parts of the country participated in this activity and interacted with speakers from Australia, Japan and U.S.A. The workshop was inaugurated by Mr. V.C. Shukla the then Cabinet Minister of Water Management, Government of India.

The first annual conference of the Society was held at Roorke University, Roorki in February, 1993. Professor R.S. Gupta was the Organizing Secretary. The proceedings of the conference was published. Several foreign delegates including Prof. F. Schipp of Hungary, leading expert of Dyadic Harmonic Analysis graced this occasion.
