                                The Jangjeon Mathematical Society (JMS), born 
                                in historic Hapcheon, seeks to carry on Hapcheon's 
                                proud
                                tradition of excellent scholarship 
                                coupled with unquestionable moral fidelity. Loyal 
                                to its Hapcheon heritage,
                                JMS strives to maintain individual excellence, 
                                faithfulness to responsibility, and development 
                                of talents and
                                abilities while adhering to core values of contributing 
                                to world peace and prosperity. 
                                JMS was founded in 1996 to fulfill the aforementioned 
                                values through free discussion and cooperation 
                                amongst
                                voluntarily participating scholars motivated by 
                                a common concern for the general welfare of mankind. 
                                This ideal
                                of free and open discussion is mirrored by society's 
                                name, Jangjeon, which rendered in pure Korean, 
                                meaning
                                "Geul-Baat", the place of studies.
