The London Mathematical Society (LMS) has, since 1865, been the UK's learned society for the advancement, dissemination and promotion of mathematical knowledge. Our mission is to advance mathematics through our members and the broader scientific community worldwide.
The LMS will be running two workshops on mathematics communication: a session taking place in person (no online attendance) and an online session (no in-person attendance).
Mathematicians and maths communicators Ben Sparks and Katie Steckles will lead these interactive training sessions, covering the skills and techniques required to communicate maths effectively. They will also share their expertise in delivering interactive and engaging sessions.
Each workshop is limited to 20 people and is open to anyone who participates, or wants to participate, in public engagement and communication activities in maths. You’ll have the chance to hear and share advice, discuss the principles behind good engagement, and develop and deliver your own maths engagement ideas.
If you have your own maths communication project or a piece of engagement you plan to deliver in the near future - at whatever stage of completion - please bring details of it along to share and discuss as part of the workshop.
The in-person workshop will take place at De Morgan House, London, and the online event will take place via Zoom (ticketholders will be emailed the link beforehand). Both workshops cover the same content, so please only apply for one session.
