London Mathematical Society

The London Mathematical Society ( LMS ) is most important Learned society of Mathématiques in England.

History

The company is founded the January 16th 1865, its first president is Auguste De Morgan. The first meetings are held with the University College of London but the company is quickly moved with Burlington House, Piccadilly. The initial activities include/understand talks and the publication of a newspaper.

The LMS is used as model to create the American Mathematical Society in 1888.

The company receives its royal Charte in 1965, one century after its creation. In 1998 its seat is moved of Burlington House in a named house De Morgan House with Bloomsbury to adapt to its expansion.

The current president is the professor John Toland.

Activities

The company publishes books and periodicals, organizes conferences, provides funds for the promotion of research and education in mathematics, and rewards by prices best research in this field.

Publications

The company prints several periodicals, the Proceedings , the Journal , and the Bulletin and an electronic publication, the '' Journal off Computation and Mathematics ''. It publishes also regular letters for its members. The LMS publishes also Compositio Mathematica for the account of its company founder, and Co-publishes off Nonlinearity with the Institute Physics. The LMS counts with its credit several series books, a series called Monographs , a series Lecture Notes , a series Student Texts , and jointly with the American Mathematical Society) the series History off Mathematics . It Co-publishes four series of translation, Russian Mathematical Surveys , Izvestiya: Mathematics and Sbornik: Mathematics (with the Academy of Science of Russia and Turpion Ltd), and Transactions off the Moscow Mathematical Society (with American Mathematical Society).
