  • Summary

    In Britain, during the second half of the eighteenth century and the first half of the nineteenth many new national scientific societies were formed; these acted as a public focus for their respective disciplines, and gained social status for their members. However, the only societies specifically for mathematicians were at a local, amateur level. Only in the middle of the nineteenth century did a national society appear – the London Mathematical Society. Applied mathematicians often had their societal needs met by other more specialised societies, and the LMS became especially attractive to pure mathematicians; it was dominated by Cambridge wranglers, and was not international in outlook. When considering the rise of pure mathematicians it may be a natural assumption to attribute their success to the LMS, but an examination of the Society's activities shows that this would be wrong; the Society did little to raise the status of pure mathematicians, or engage with the public, or help establish their discipline as one that was worthy of study in its own right. Accordingly, an explanation of pure mathematicians' success in establishing their discipline must be looked for elsewhere.

Journal of the London Mathematical Society
  • Founded in 1926 and now in its Second Series, the Journal of the London Mathematical Society has a reputation for publishing some of the highest quality research on the whole spectrum of mathematics. The journal has a wide scope which ranges from number theory to functional analysis, from finite simple groups to the mathematical foundations of quantum theory and from logic and topos theory to the topology of Lie groups. In 2006, Cambridge University Press are delighted to support the London Mathematical Society in the introduction of a year's trial open access policy, in which the most recent two issues will be freely available online as part of a one year experiment.

Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society
  • A well-established journal with over thirty five years' coverage extending across the whole range of pure mathematics, together with some more applied areas of analysis, theoretical computing and mathematical physics. The London Mathematical Society has adopted a trial open-access policy for 2005, in which the most recent two issues will be freely available online as part of a one year experiment. The Bulletin publishes important short research articles, authoritative survey articles and advanced expositions, often of an extensive nature, reviewing all major developments in an important area over many years. Occasional biographical articles are also published on the lives and mathematical achievements of distinguished mathematicians. The Bulletin has a substantial book review section, including books in applied mathematics and statistics as well as pure mathematics.

Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society
  • An eminent international mathematics journal, the Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society has been published since 1865. In 2005, the London Mathematical Society is pleased to announce, the introduction of an open access policy, in which the most recent two issues will be freely available online as part of a one year experiment. Papers from the Proceedings, cover a wide range of mathematical topics that include real and complex analysis, differential equations and related areas, topology, geometry, logic, probability, statistics, algebra, number theory and combinatorial theory.
