Chair of the Council for the Mathematical Sciences receives new year honour

Frank Kelly, Professor of the Mathematics of Systems, Statistical Laboratory, University of Cambridge and Master of Christ's College Cambridge, has been appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2013 New Year Honours for services to mathematical sciences.

This is a very prestigious honour and the London Mathematical Society (LMS) would like to extend its warmest congratulations to Professor Kelly.

Graeme Segal, LMS President, said, ‘Frank Kelly has led the Council for the Mathematical Sciences (CMS) to a position of great authority and influence, and has contributed enormously to making the national support of mathematics secure. His recognition is very amply deserved’.
