The Mathematical Society of Japan
Membership
The forerunner of the Mathematical Society of Japan was the "Tokyo Sugaku Kaisha",
founded in 1877. This was the first academic society in Japan. The Mathematical
Society of Japan (MSJ) was established in its present form in 1946. Currently
the MSJ has more than 5,000 members, who enjoy the various benefits the MSJ has
to offer, as well as the opportunity to participate in programs at MSJ meetings
which take place in spring and in autumn each year. Members have the opportunity
to announce their own research at MSJ meetings.

Dues categories
Ordinary Membership:\18,000/yr
(\12,000/yr for students and members
more than 70 years old)
Foreign Membership
Foreign membership has four categories:
Category I (Category A): reciprocity members not receiving Sugaku
-- \9,000/yr
Category II (Category B): reciprocity members receiving all
privileges
-- \10,800/yr
Category III: ordinary foreign members not receiving Sugaku

Category IV: ordinary foreign members receiving all
privileges
-- \16,200/yr
Supporting Membership: Supporting membership is for institutions or firms.
Minimum dues for supporting members are \30,000/yr. Supporting dues are mainly
used for international activities of the Mathematical Society of Japan, namely,
for supporting mathematicians visiting Japan, for international conferences, for
supporting mathematical activities in developing countries, and for mathematical
institutes outside Japan.
