Message from the President of the Mathematical Society of Japan

The earthquake occurred on March 11th has caused considerable damage to the Tohoku District, the northeastern Japan, and the Mathematical Society of Japan has decided to cancel the MSJ Spring Meeting 2011 scheduled from March 20th to 23rd at Waseda University. The worst-hit area of the quake is devastating, but our colleagues near the area are starting to work for getting back to their daily lives, including research activities.

Facing the un-experienced ordeal, we, the mathematicians and mathematical communities in Japan, have received a lot of encouraging messages and cordiality from mathematical researchers and associations all over the world. On behalf of the colleagues in Japan, I would like to extend deep gratitude to all the people who are supporting and standing by us. Thank you all for your heartwarming consideration.

Takashi TSUBOI
President of the Mathematical Society of Japan
