The next LMS Women in Mathematics Day will be held on 19 October 2018 at Newcastle University in partnership with the WISDOM group of Royal Holloway, University of London, titled: What I’ve done with my Maths Degree, and what you can do with yours.

Aimed at undergraduate, masters or PhD students in any discipline, who are interested in hearing from successful women with a mathematical background, the event will be a friendly day of talks from several women working in academia and industry, showcasing where a degree in Mathematics can lead. 

Do you give mathematical talks in schools and colleges? The LMS currently has vacancies for Holgate Session Leaders, and invites applications from those interested in taking part in this scheme.

The Holgate Lectures and Workshops Sessions scheme provides session leaders who are willing to give talks or run workshops on mathematical subjects to groups of students or teachers. The sessions are intended to enrich and enhance mathematical education, looking both within and beyond the curriculum.

The popularity of Mathematics at A-level continues with another increase in the number of Mathematics entries across the UK. The number of students sitting the exam is up 2.5% on last year to 97,627. This continues to be a welcome trend for Mathematics and shows that students value the skills a Mathematics qualification gives them to help fulfil their career aspirations and is excellent currency in the job market. However, the figures for AS show a significant decrease.

We are delighted to announce that the Councils of the IMA and LMS have awarded the Christopher Zeeman Medal in 2018 to Dr Hannah Fry of University College London, for her contributions to the public understanding of the mathematical sciences.
