The Hong Kong Mathematical Society is an academic body representing mathematicians in Hong Kong. We promote the development of all aspects of mathematics and its research and education
Wong Yung Chow made a tour of Southeast Asian countries in the early 1970s. He was keen to see regional mathematical societies formed and discussed that with mathematicians in various countries. He held a meeting in Hong Kong in June 1970 which prepared the way to the founding of the Southeast Asian Mathematical Society in 1972.
The Hong Kong Mathematical Society was founded in 1979 with Wong Yung Chow elected as its first president. There were four institutional members of the new society: the Chinese University of Hong Kong; the Hong Kong Baptist College; Hong Kong Polytechnic; and the University of Hong Kong.

The Riemann zeta function ζ(s) was introduced by Euler and Riemann and is an importantobject in number theory. The special values of Riemann zeta function have striking arithmeticproperties: ζ(k) is a rational number for every negative odd integer k, and Kummer congruenceasserts that these values vary continuously under the p-adic topology. L-functions are naturalgeneralizations of the Riemann zeta function.
