'''Ramanujan Mathematical Society''' is an Indian organisation of persons formed with the aim of "promoting mathematics at all levels". The Society was founded in 1985 and registered in [[Tiruchirappalli]], [[Tamil Nadu]], India. Professor G. Shankaranarayanan was the first President, Professor R. Balakrishnan the first Secretary and [[E. Sampathkumar|Professor E. Sampathkumar]] the first Academic Secretary. The initial impetus for the formation of the Society
was the deeply felt need of a new mathematical journal and the necessity of an organisation to launch and nourish the journal.<ref>{{cite web |title=Ramanujan Mathematical Society - Home page |url=http://www.ramanujanmathsociety.org/ |accessdate=20 April 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=The Ramanujan Mathematical Society|url=http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/Societies/Ramanujan.html|publisher=University of St Andrews, Scotland|accessdate=22 April 2012}}</ref>
