It was founded in 1976.[1] It has researchers working in many areas of mathematics, particularly in algebra and number theory.[2]
Since 1992, the Pratishthan has also been a recognized center for conducting Regional Mathematics Olympiad (RMO) under the National Board for Higher Mathematics (NBHM) for Maharashtra and Goa Region.[3]
Pratishthana publishes the mathematics periodical Bona Mathematica and has published texts in higher and Olympiad mathematics.[4] Besides this the Pratishthan holds annual / biennial conferences/ Workshops in some research areas in higher mathematics attended by Indian/Foreign scholars and Professors. The Pratishthan has organized a number of workshops for research students and college teachers under the aegis of NBHM/NCM. The National Board for Higher Mathematics has greatly helped Pratishthan to enrich its library. The Department of Atomic Energy and the Mathematics Department of S. P. Pune University have rendered active co-operation in holding conferences/workshops.
It also conducts the BMTSC exam which is a school-level mathematics competition for students studying in the 5th and the 6th grade. The objectives of the competition are listed below: 1. Identify good students of mathematics at an early age. 2. A pre Olympiad type competition. 3. To enhance Mathematical ability and logical thinking. 4.
