Guidelines for a Country that wish to become a member of IMU
A country interested in becoming a member of the International
Mathematical Union, shall send to the Secretary of IMU, a sample of
activities in mathematics, specially concerning research, as well as a
sample of research papers published in international journals by the local
mathematicians in the last 10 years or so. The Secretary of IMU shall then
present the case to the Executive Committee, and, upon a recommendation of
this board, the Adhering Organizations are consulted. The final decision
depends on a majority vote of the members at a General Assembly or through a
Postal Ballo.
