Results showing major improvements at two of the Society's journals.
Members may be familiar with developments over the last few years at the Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society and Journal of the London Mathematical Society (BLMS and JLMS, respectively).
The Society's Charter, Statutes, and By-Laws are currently under review, and draft proposals for amendments have been sent to Members for their comments.
Comments can be made either on the consultation blog which has been set up for the purpose, or by email direct to charter@lms.ac.uk.
The mathematical sciences community welcomes this report, which clearly demonstrates the importance of mathematics and its impact across an exceptionally wide range of disciplines, technologies and industries.
Professor Sir John Ball FRS (University of Oxford) past-President (1996-1998) of the London Mathematical Society has received the 2018 King Faisal International Prize (Science). The Society extends its congratulations to Sir John on receiving this award. The Prize is awarded by the King Faisal Foundation and the Science subcategories cover a range of disciplines, alternating between physics, chemistry, biology and mathematics, with the Prize for Science first awarded in 1984.
The Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2029 is vital to supporting a UK research system that delivers knowledge and innovation with real-world impact.
Last week, the Academy for the Mathematical Sciences published Maths Manifestos for Scotland and Wales.
The Scottish manifesto champions Scotland’s long and proud mathematical heritage, from the symmetry of Neolithic stone balls, through the work of Napier and the mathematical thinking that informed the Scottish Enlightenment, to the education system and the world-leading research being undertaken in Scottish universities today.
The London Mathematical Society is delighted to announce that EPSRC funding will support the LMS–Sheffield Mathematical Symposia from 2026 to 2030, ensuring the continuation of these prestigious international research meetings at the University of Sheffield.
As part of this exciting development, the Call for Expressions of Interest is now open for the 2027 LMS–Sheffield Symposium. These symposia bring together leading mathematicians from around the world to explore cutting-edge topics and foster collaboration.
