The Journal of the London Mathematical Society was founded in 1926, its first issue being published in January of that year. To celebrate, the Society is publishing a special centenary issue comprising a collection of short survey articles based on a selection of articles from the Journal over the years.
The London Mathematical Society has collaborated with three other mathematics societies to address the challenges in publishing accessible mathematics content, given requirements related to the European Accessibility Act (EAA) and the update to Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
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 Abel Prize Lectures 2026 take place on 27 May 2026 at the University of Oslo and are open to all, with free advance registration required. The day features lectures by Abel Laureate Gerd Faltings (member of the Compositio Mathematica editorial board) alongside Ana Caraiani, Wiesława Nizioł, and Minhyong Kim, LMS International Secretary. Lectures are typically recorded and shared online after the event. Don’t miss this celebration of mathematical depth, creativity, and international connection.
