The LMS Newsletter is the newsletter of the London Mathematical Society. It appears six times a year (September, November, January, March, May and July). The Newsletter is distributed to just under 3,000 individual members, as well as UK universities and reciprocal societies and other academic bodies such as the British Library. It contains mathematical feature articles, news, book reviews and details of conferences and other events in the mathematical world.
A typical issue runs to 40-56 pages and carries 2–3 pages of advertising.
