About the IMA

The IMA is the professional and learned society for mathematicians. We support the advancement of mathematical knowledge and its applications and we engage with Parliament and other organisations to promote mathematical culture for the public good.

We publish eight research journals, and run a diverse programme of conferences. We also award chartered status to individuals who wish to demonstrate commitment to their career.
