	PlanetMath: London Mathematical Society
		The London Mathematical Society (LMS) is an association of professional mathematicians in the United Kingdom, headquartered in London, England.
		Established in 1865 in London, the Society was granted royal charter by Queen Elizabeth II at its centennial celebrations.
		This is version 2 of London Mathematical Society, born on 2007-03-09, modified 2007-03-09.

	Mathematical journal Summary
		New fields ranged from the mathematical theory of heat studied by Joseph Fourier (1768-1830), to research in elliptical functions by Carl Gustav Jacobi (1804-1851), to the invariants studied by Arthur Cayley (1821-1895) and Sylvester, all mathematicians who reported their results to mathematical societies and in journals.
		Similarly, the London Mathematical Society's example in facilitating communication between mathematicians, publicizing international developments, and holding talks given by and to mathematics researchers was followed by mathematical societies established around the world in the last quarter of the nineteenth century.
		One of the best definitions of the current state of mathematics, as a research field, is that it consists of theorems with proofs published in a reputable mathematical journal, and which have passed through the process of peer review called refereeing.

	London Mathematical Society Monographs
		The London Mathematical Society Monographs Series was established in 1968.
		Its principal activities are the organization of meetings and conferences, the publication of periodicals and books, the provision of financial support for mathematical activities, and the contribution to public debates on issues related to mathematics research and education.
		It is the UK adhering body to the International Mathematical Union and is a member of the Council for the Mathematical Sciences, which comprises the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, the Royal Statistical Society together with the London Mathematical Society.

	London Mathematical Society
		The chair at this preliminary meeting was taken by T A Hirst, the name of the Society was agreed, and the date for the first meeting proper was set for 16 January 1865.
		At the 16 January 1865 meeting, held in University College, Bloomsbury, north of central London, the chair was taken by Augustus De Morgan who gave the first address setting out what the aims and practices of the Society should be.
		He pressed for the Society to expand its range of mathematical publications and in 1926 the Journal of the London Mathematical Society was founded.

	The Goals of Mathematical Education by George Polya
		He was an honorary member of the Hungarian Academy, the London Mathematical Society, and the Swiss Mathematical Society, and a member of the (American) National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the California Mathematics Council, as well as a corresponding member of the Academie des Sciences in Paris.
		Mathematics in the primary schools has a good and narrow aim and that is pretty clear in the primary schools.
		This is the general aim of mathematics teaching -- to develop in each student as much as possible the good mental habits of tackling any kind of problem.

	General Information (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Society Meetings are usually held on the third Friday of a month during the academic year.
		In honour of the Society's predecessor, the Spitalfields Mathematical Society which flourished from 1717 to 1845, there is an occasional series of Spitalfields Lectures, these are associated with symposia on specialist topics, some distinguished participants being invited to give survey lectures for a general mathematical audience.
		Society members who order volumes for their personal use directly from CUP, PUP or OUP are eligible for discounts of between 25% and 30% on the list price of these volumes.

	Spitalfields Mathematical Society (London)
		The original rules of the Society limited the number of members to "the square of eight" but clearly this proved hard to maintain for by 1735 it had been reduced to "the square of seven".
		In the year 1772, another Mathematical Society, then held at the Black Swan, Brown's Lane, Spitalfields was, at the request of its members (who brought with them their books and instruments, etc.) incorporated into the Society: and in the year 1982 the Society removed to the aforesaid Black Swan...
		The Mathematical Society flourished to the extent that in 1783 it increased its membership back to the square of eight.

	Edinburgh Mathematical Society
		The Edinburgh Mathematical Society was founded in 1883 for "the mutual improvement of its members in the Mathematical Sciences, pure and applied" and is firmly established as the principal mathematical society for the university community in Scotland.
		Details of the current list of officers of the society and its committees is available, as are the President's Newsletters for 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006.

	Mary Lucy Cartwright
		She graduated from the University of Oxford in 1923, having attained a First in mathematics in only the second year that women were allowed to take Final degrees at Oxford.
		After teaching mathematics in the schools for four years, she returned to Oxford in 1928 for her D.Phil in mathematics under the supervision of G. Hardy and E. Titchmarsh, receiving the degree in 1930.
		She was elected President of the London Mathematical Society in 1951, received the Sylvester Medal of the Royal Society in 1964, the De Morgan Medal of the London Mathematical Society in 1968, and in 1969 became Dame Mary Cartwright (the female equivalent of a knighthood).

	Edinburgh Mathematical Society
		The regular monthly lecture meetings (October-June) are intended for an informed mathematical audience, and certainly not just for experts in a particular research area: they therefore provide a splendid opportunity to sample the flavours of many parts of mathematics and its applications that may previously have been unfamiliar.
		The Society is very conscious of its role as the premier mathematical society in Scotland and as the provider of a forum where its members can meet regularly to further mathematics and its applications -- and to catch up on the gossip from other places over a cup of tea!
		The President and Vice-President continue to represent the Society on the main committee and Higher Education Section of the Joint Mathematical Council, and a Society representative attends the meetings of HUDOMS (Heads of University Departments of Mathematical Sciences).
