The Swedish Mathematical Society is a mathematical society founded in Sweden in 1950.
It is a member of the European Mathematical Society and is recognised by the International Mathematics Union.
The Swedish Mathematical Society organises two member meetings per year, awards the Wallenberg Prize annually, and organises conferences and scientific meetings with other mathematical societies.
It publishes a bulletin three times a year.
The logo of the SMS contains the third iteration of the Koch snowflake, which was first described by Swedish mathematician Helge von Koch in 1904.
