The London Mathematical Society welcomes nominations for the 2014 prizes, to recognise and celebrate achievements in and contributions to mathematics.

In 2014, the LMS Council expects to award:

The Polya Prize – in recognition of outstanding creativity in, imaginative exposition of, or distinguished contribution to, mathematics within the United Kingdom.

The Fröhlich Prize – for original and extremely innovative work in any branch of mathematics.

The Senior Berwick Prize – awarded in recognition of an outstanding piece of mathematical research actually published by the Society during the eight years ending on 31 December 2013.

The Senior Anne Bennett Prize – for work in, influence on or service to mathematics, particularly in relation to advancing the careers of women in mathematics.

The Whitehead Prizes for work in and influence on mathematics.

For further information and nomination forms, please visit the LMS website.

Or contact Duncan Turton, Secretary to the Prizes Committee at the Society (tel: 020 7927 0801, email: prizes@lms.ac.uk).

The Prizes Committee is keen to increase the number of nominations it receives and, in particular, the number of nominations for women, which are disproportionately low each year. The prize regulations refer to the concept of ‘academic age’—rather than date of birth—in order to take account more fully of broken career patterns.

Closing Date for Nominations: Monday 20th January 2014
