Book Series

The LMS collaborates with other publishers to produce four series of books.

Discounts are given to members of the LMS purchasing volumes in any of these series for their own personal use. Order directly from the publisher (not the LMS), stating that you are a member of the Society.

LMS Monographs

Published by Princeton University Press

The original series was founded in 1968 by the Society and Academic Press; the second series was launched by the Society and Oxford University Press in 1983. Since January 2003, the series has moved and new titles are published by Princeton University Press

The aim of this series is to publish authoritative accounts of current research in mathematics and high-quality expository works bringing the reader to the frontiers of research. Of particular interest are topics that have developed rapidly in the last ten years but that have reached a certain level of maturity. Clarity of exposition is important and each book should be accessible to those commencing work in its field.

The books are of medium length, usually 250–450 pages, and are published in an attractive hardback version. The manuscripts are usually set in LaTeX by the authors; technical help and advice is available. An additional attraction to authors is that each manuscript has a Reader, knowledgeable in the field, who provides comments on the final manuscript.

The Honorary Editors are Martin Bridson (Oxford) and Peter Sarnak (IAS, Princeton). The Editorial Advisers are M L Gromov, J-F Le Gall and R L Taylor.

LMS Lecture Notes

Published by Cambridge University Press

The Series was founded in 1968 by the Society and Cambridge University Press. Most volumes are short monographs giving authoritative accounts of the present state of knowledge on a topic of general interest. Records of lectures and seminars on advanced topics in mathematics held internationally are also published.

The Series accepts some conference proceedings, especially those of an instructional nature and other collective works with similar aims. In general the series is relaxed and informal but places importance on the quality of exposition. To date over 360 volumes have appeared.

The Editor is Miles Reid (University of Warwick) and the Editorial Advisers are B J Green, D R Heath-Brown, R A M Rouquier, J T Stafford and E Süli. Intending authors may also contact Roger Astley (Cambridge University Press).

LMS Student Texts

Published by Cambridge University Press

The LMS Student Texts series, established in 1983 and published by Cambridge University Press, complements the LMS Lecture Notes Series with textbooks of an expository nature aimed at advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students. It aims to offer introductions to areas where there is an absence of well-established exposition, providing students with access to new and exciting ideas as they emerge.

Ideally a student text should be accessible to a first year research student working alone. Texts are frequently based on graduate courses given by the authors. Translations of successful books and proceedings of suitable instructional conferences are also considered. To date, the series contains over 70 titles.

Camera-ready copy or TeX files are usually provided by the author and books are 150–400 pages in length. The benefits of low-cost production are passed on to purchasers via modest pricing of the soft-cover versions.

The Honorary Editor is David Benson (Aberdeen) and the Editorial Advisers are A M Etheridge, M W Liebeck, J R Partington, R M Roberts, U L Tillmann and J F Toland. Alternatively, proposals may be submitted via Roger Astley of Cambridge University Press, who is also happy to give advice.

History of Mathematics Series

Published jointly with the American Mathematical Society

This is a special series of texts on the History of Mathematics published jointly by the LMS and the American Mathematics Society. The books provide interesting historical perspectives on the people and communities that have profoundly influenced the development of mathematics.

The series is particularly concerned with the history of 'modern mathematics' that is, from about 1750. The aim is to publish reasonably priced volumes of interest to the average working mathematician.

Books are published from the AMS offices at Rhode Island to a high standard of production quality, and are bound in attractive covers. To date, 34 volumes have appeared.

The LMS editor is Tony Mann (University of Greenwich), and the LMS advisers are June Barrow-Green (Open University), Jeremy Gray (Open University) and Edmund Robertson (University of St Andrews).

Publish With the LMS

There are three separate processes for publishing with the LMS.

To submit:

a manuscript for publication in one of our Book Series, see Book Submission.
a paper for publication in the Proceedings, Journal or Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society, see Paper Submission.
a paper for electronic publication in the LMS Journal of Computation and Mathematics, see Instructions for Authors.
