History. The society was established in Kraków, Poland in 1917. It was originally simply called the Mathematical Society. It was officially constituted on April 2, 1919. Hugo Steinhaus, Stefan Banach and Otto Nikodym were among the founders. Ever since its foundation, the society's main activity was to bring mathematicians together by means of organizing conferences and lectures. The second main activity is the publication of its annals "Annales  Societatis Mathematicae Polonae", consisting of: The annals are also known under the Polish name "Roczniki Polskiego Towarzystwa Matematycznego" and under the English name "Polish Mathematical Society Annals". Stefan Banach Prize. The Polish Mathematical Society has awarded the Stefan Banach Prize to the following recipients: International Stefan Banach Prize. The International Stefan Banach Prize (Polish: "Międzynarodowa Nagroda im. Stefana Banacha") is an annual award presented by the Mathematical Society to mathematicians for best doctoral dissertations in the mathematical sciences. Its aim is to "promote and financially support the most promising young researchers" in the field of mathematics. It was founded  in 2009 and is named in honour of a renowned Polish mathematician Stefan Banach (1892-1945). The laureates of the award also receive a cash prize of PLN 25,000 (c.$6,500).
