Gesellschaft für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik


Gesellschaft für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, often referred to by the acronym GAMM, is a German society for the promotion of science, founded in 1922 by the physicist Ludwig Prandtl and the mathematician Richard von Mises. The society awards the Richard von Mises prize annually.
In 1958 the GAMM and the ACM together worked out the "ALGOL 58 Report" at a meeting in Zurich.
