The London Mathematical Society is a membership society for the advancement, dissemination and promotion of mathematical knowledge. It is the major UK learned society for Mathematics, with around 2,300 members, mainly based in the UK as well as some overseas.

The standing and usefulness of the Society depends upon the support of a strong membership, to provide the resources, expertise and participation in the running of the Society to support its many activities in publishing, grant-giving, conferences, public policy, influencing government, and mathematics education in schools.

The Society’s Council therefore hopes that all mathematicians on the staff of UK universities and other similar institutions will support mathematical research by joining the Society. It also very much encourages applications from mathematicians of comparable standing who are working or have worked in other occupations.
 

Results of Community Survey on Membership

The Society would like to thank all those who participated in the Community Survey on Attitudes to Membership of the LMS, which took place at the beginning of 2011.  Almost 800 people completed the survey, providing the Society with an invaluable resource looking forward.  We will be considering all responses received.
