Thanks to a generous donation from Dr Tony Hill, the LMS has started work on a new venture to support the provision of online tutoring for A-level Mathematics students who come from backgrounds that are under-represented in the mathematics community. The Society has a major interest in fostering the next generation of mathematicians through support for mathematical education and is dedicated to promoting equality of opportunity across all career stages.

Deadline for nominations: 31 December 2020

The LMS would like to invite nominations for the following prizes in 2021, which are intended to recognise and celebrate achievements in and contributions to mathematics:

Originally launched in 2015 as part of the 150th anniversary celebrations of the London Mathematical Society (LMS), the Hirst Prize and Lectureship is now jointly awarded by the LMS and the British Society for the History of Mathematics (BSHM). The prize is named after Thomas Archer Hirst, who was the fifth President of the LMS (1872–74).

The Society held its first ever virtual Annual General Meeting on Friday 20 November 2020. The meeting was moved online due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and was well attended, with over 100 participants able to attend without travelling to central London. The Society was very grateful for technical and administrative support for the meeting from the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences (ICMS).
