The Society is occupied with pedagogical activity and with the popularization of mathematics, recreational mathematics, physics, astronomy and with organizing competitions at all levels of education. It takes care of publicistic and editorial activity, where we should mention its gazette ''Obzornik za matematiko in fiziko'' (''A Review for Mathematics and Physics''), a magazine for secondary schools ''Presek'' (''A Section''), literary collection ''Sigma'' and other literary editions. The current president of the Society is Dragan Mihailovic (since 2017) and the vice-president is Nada Razpet.

He received a degree at the University of Ljubljana in technical physics in 1957, and got his Ph.D. in 1963. His main research work was carried out at the Jožef Stefan Institute. He taught for many years beginning in 1961 at the University of Ljubljana, Faculty for natural science and technology on the Department of physics introductory courses and topics from physics. In 1974 he became a full professor. In 1990 he wrote a book about fundamental particles physics entitled ''Iz take so snovi kot sanje'' (''We are such stuff as dreams are made of''). With his short and long articles he had deepened the knowledge about Stefan's scientific work. His thick booklet in the series of monographs, ''Zbirka Sigma'' (the Sigma Collection), entitled ''Kvantna fizika'' (''Quantum Physics''), ( ...

Franc Cvelbar
The franc is any of various units of currency. One franc is typically divided into 100 centimes. The name is said to derive from the Latin inscription ''francorum rex'' (King of the Franks) used on early French coins and until the 18th century, or from the French ''franc'', meaning "frank" (and "free" in certain contexts, such as ''coup franc'', "free kick").
