We are very disappointed with the Government’s withdrawal of their commitment of £6m over three years to fund a new National Academy focussed on Mathematical Sciences.
The Royal Society has today published its recommendations for a radical reform of maths education from early years and throughout compulsory education, to address the growing need for data skills in the workplace and in everyday life.
The Councils of the IMA and the London Mathematical Society are delighted to announce that the 2024 Christopher Zeeman Medal is awarded to Brady Haran. The Christopher Zeeman Medal is the UK award dedicated to recognising excellence in the communication of mathematics.
An event to present Brady with his award is currently being arranged and details will be published on the societies websites, magazines and social media.
The following citation describes Brady Haran’s exceptional work in this field.
