Today, 100 years later, the HMS has more than 12.000 members and 39 regional branches across Greece. 

Amongst the main objectives of the HMS are:

• the advancement of mathematics
• the fostering of free exchange of information between mathematicians, scientists and the society at large
• the substantial and continuous improvement of mathematical education and the advancement of general education
• to inform Greek mathematicians on recent progress made in science and technology and offer them practical assistance in matters which may occur during their work at school
