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 LMS welcomes the announcement of the government’s support for the establishment of a National Academy focused on the Mathematical Sciences in the Autumn 2023 statement. This is great news for the mathematical sciences community and recognises the importance mathematics plays across the sciences and in major technological advancements. It is important that, through an Academy, the whole community develops a single voice on issues affecting it, thus making it more influential with government, funding agencies, industry, the public and the media.
