Popular Lectures DVDs

The LMS Popular Lectures present stimulating topics in mathematics and its applications to a broad audience. They are designed to be intelligible to a non-specialist audience, although A-levels are useful. The lecturers are always chosen for their mathematical distinction and their ability to communicate. There are two lectures and the event is held annually, given at two venues in the UK.

THE DVDs

The Popular Lectures are recorded each year for release on DVD. The DVDs contain extra material which includes, for example, copies of the graphics and suggestions for further reading. 

The DVDs are available to purchase from the London Mathematical Society.  For further information on titles available to purchase, please download the DVD catalogue:

 

Note on DVD format

DVDs are recorded on a computer in the DVD-R format. Not all set-top boxes will play computer DVDs satisfactorily, although DVD-R format has been chosen because currently it offers the greatest degree of compatibility. All computers should be able to read the DVDs. However, the software used for replay may not recognise the menu structure and may simply play the video thereon as a continuous stream. DVD player software is therefore recommended.
