HISTORY The Society was established on 16 January 1865 , the first president being Augustus De Morgan . The earliest meetings were held in University College but the Society soon moved into Burlington House , Piccadilly . The initial activities of the Society included talks and publication of a journal. The LMS was used as a model for the establishment of the American Mathematical Society in 1888 . The Society was granted a Royal Charter in 1965 , a Century after its foundation. In 1998 the Society moved from rooms in Burlington House into De Morgan House, in Bloomsbury, to accommodate an expansion of its staff. The current president is Professor John Toland . ACTIVITIES The Society publishes books and periodicals; organizes mathematical conferences; provides funding to promote mathematics research and education; and awards a number of prizes and fellowships for excellence in mathematical research. PUBLICATIONS The Society's periodical publications include three printed (jointly with the Russian Academy Of Sciences and Turpion Ltd), and ''Transactions of the Moscow Mathematical Society'' (jointly with the American Mathematical Society). PRIZES The named prizes are:
In addition, the Society jointly with the Institute Of Mathematics And Its Applications awards the David Crighton Medal every three years. SEE ALSO
