London Mathematical Society
Institute of Mathematics and its Applications
We also have close relationships with the two major UK professional societies for mathematics and many of our staff are members of one or both societies. The London Mathematical Society was founded in 1865 and has a national and international membership of around 2,300 professional mathematicians. The Institute of Mathematics and its Applications was founded in 1964 and awards the Chartered Mathematician, Chartered Scientist and Chartered Mathematics Teacher designations.
All of the above societies support their fields in many ways, such as producing journals, organising conferences, engaging with government and promoting public engagement.
