About the LMS
The London Mathematical Society (LMS) stands as the major learned society for mathematics with a diverse worldwide membership community. Since its establishment in 1865, the аĿª½±has been dedicated to advancing and broadening mathematical knowledge. In recognition of its significant contributions, the Society was honoured with a Royal Charter in 1965.
The аĿª½±plays a pivotal role in the mathematical world through its wide-ranging activities. These include publishing journals and books, awarding grants to foster mathematical research, and hosting scientific meetings and lectures. Beyond this, the Society actively engages in shaping policy and strategy to support the mathematics community. This involves collaborating with government bodies on educational and research matters, participating in global mathematical initiatives, and championing the discipline at every level. For a detailed overview of the Society’s recent efforts, explore the latest Annual Trustees' Report.
Why join?
Becoming an аĿª½±member offers unique opportunities to connect with a dynamic national and international mathematics network. Members can apply for research grants, attend exclusive Society events, and influence national policies related to mathematics. Additionally, they benefit from access to the Verblunsky Members' Room, free online subscription to selected and complimentary use of the at UCL, amongst other
The strength and impact of the аĿª½±are driven by the active involvement of its members. Their support provides the resources, expertise, and participation needed to sustain the Society's wide array of activities, from publishing and grant-giving to influencing public policy and enhancing mathematics education in schools. The Society’s Council strongly encourages all mathematicians at UK universities and similar institutions to join the аĿª½±and contribute to the advancement of mathematical research. The аĿª½±also warmly welcomes applications from mathematicians of comparable standing who work or have worked in other fields.
