LMS Representatives

The continued health of the Society depends on nurturing and maintaining close contact with its membership. As current Treasurer I am making the development of a vibrant and active network of LMS representatives a priority. Forty or so members have already agreed to serve in this important role, which is a very positive start. (The names of the current representatives and their universities are listed below.) If there is no representative listed for your institution please contact membership@lms.ac.uk. By the autumn we aim to have representatives at every higher educational institution in the UK. It is essential that your representatives on Council are kept aware of the challenges and opportunities facing mathematics in the UK so that they can reflect your views accurately.

Although the majority of LMS members are pure mathematicians, the Society exists to serve all branches of mathematics – pure, applied and applicable. The diverse research interests of our Presidents over the past decade make this very clear, and our current representatives have a similar wide range of research interests.
