The British Society for the History of Mathematics exists to promote research into the history of mathematics and its use at all levels of mathematics education.

The Society's Bulletin is published by Taylor and Francis, and carries a wide range of articles and reviews of interest to the history of mathematics community.

This link provides information about how to join the Society; this site also contains information about the Society and its history, its current activities, and various resources on the history of mathematics.

Unplanned Impact of Mathematics

The impact of developments in mathematics is often: taken up in other areas of science, engineering and technology; felt over the long term; and quite different to what, if anything, was intended. These issues can lead to a view that mathematics is not a subject which provides 'value for money' when funded through public research grants. Consequently, there is a mood among mathematicians to turn to history for examples to refute this view. BSHM hopes to contribute such examples: click here for information about how you can help.
