Last year, the LMS released a joint statement with the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications and the Royal Statistical Society highlighting concerns about the move to online assessment for university students. This statement has now been updated following the news that some universities are planning to remove, either partially or in full, on-campus examinations and closed-book assessments. The latest statement stresses that, in the interests of fairness, all learners must be given equal opportunities to demonstrate their knowledge.

We are deeply saddened to hear of the death of Her Majesty The Queen. 

On behalf of the London Mathematical Society community, we pay tribute to her devotion to public service and the Royal Family's close association with the mathematical and science community over the last 70 years. 

We were pleased to acquire a Royal Charter in 1965 and value this prestigious recognition from Her Majesty. 

We send our deepest condolences to the Royal Family at this sad time. 

Application deadline: 15 November 2022

Applications are now invited for two LMS Cecil King Travel Scholarships in 2023. The scholarship is designed to support study or research abroad for early career mathematicians, typically for a period of three months. £6,000 is awarded for each scholarship, one to a mathematician in any area of mathematics and the second to a mathematician whose research is applied in a discipline other than mathematics.

A level results were released today as students across England, Wales and Northern Ireland received grades for the first formal exams since 2019. Scottish Higher results were released on 9 August.

The LMS extends its congratulations to all students receiving their results, particularly in light of the ongoing difficulties caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and its impact on both students and teachers.

Letters by LMS President Ulrike Tillmann reiterating the importance of investment in mathematics have been published in The Times and Guardian.

The letters followed the publication of a House of Lords Science and Technology report on the government’s global ambitions for science and technology, which include making the UK a 'science and technology superpower'.
