As a further, and hopefully long lasting legacy project, a book has been commissioned that will be published by Oxford University Press. It will comprise fifty accessible and thought-provoking articles on a wide variety of topics through the spectrum of mathematics and its applications. The intended audience is a general reader with an interest in maths who would like to learn some more about maths, its applications and its relevance to their lives.
The editors of the book are Chris Budd CMath FIMA, Alan Champneys CMath FIMA (Chair), Marianne Freiberger, Paul Glendinning FIMA, Steve Humble FIMA, Rachel Thomas and Ahmer Wadee CMath FIMA, CSci. The contents of the book will include invited articles from well-known mathematicians and maths communicators.
The IMA@50 Book – Fifty Visions of Mathematics – is available to pre-order from the OUP website. Now only £18.99 with an exclusive discount for members of the IMA.
