Nominations are invited for the Hirst Prize and Lectureship in 2025. Jointly awarded by the LMS and the British Society for the History of Mathematics (BSHM), the Hirst Prize recognizes contributions to the study of the history of mathematics. The prize is awarded for original and innovative work in the history of mathematics, which may be in any medium.
The prize is open to any mathematician or historian of mathematics. The members of the Hirst Prize panel and the members of the LMS and BSHM Councils are ineligible for the prize. There is no requirement for the winner to be based in the UK.
The award will be considered by the Councils of the LMS and BSHM in spring 2025, and the winner will be announced in summer 2025. The winner will be invited to give a lecture on the history of mathematics at a meeting of the LMS in the year following the award.
