The Edinburgh Mathematical Society is the leading mathematical society in Scotland.

Founded in 1883 by a group of Edinburgh schoolteachers and academics, the society organises and funds meetings and other research events throughout Scotland. It also publishes an academic journal (the Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society) and every four years awards the Sir Edmund Whittaker Memorial Prize to an outstanding mathematician with a Scottish connection.
