2024–25 Committee Elected at Annual General Meeting
On February 27th, 2024, the Archimedeans community gathered for our Annual General Meeting (AGM), marking a significant milestone as we elected a new committee to lead us into the next academic year. We are thrilled to congratulate Tomasz Kinowski on his election as President, whose dedication and vision promise to guide Archimedeans towards greater heights. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all members who participated and showed interest in serving, as your commitment fuels our success. Looking ahead, the new committee is excited to implement innovative programs and engaging events to enrich our community. We invite everyone to join Archimedeans this year—become a member and contribute to our thriving community
Speaker Events
Every week, we organise talks here in the CMS, where distinguished academics from both abroad and the UK present on new or interesting topics within their areas of expertise. These events are a fantastic way to be entertained or inspired, featuring engaging titles such as “How to Find (and Keep) a Wife” and “Mathematics and the Simpsons.” Aimed at a general (slightly mathy) audience, they are suitable for all. Our speakers include bestselling authors like Ian Stewart and Simon Singh, as well as Fields medalists such as Wendelin Werner, Alain Connes and Simon Donaldson. Additionally, we feature esteemed professionals like Tom Crawford who bring unique perspectives to their fields. If you’re curious, feel free to browse our upcoming and past events.
Bringing the Social
A major part of our society is to provide social events and gatherings for maths students. We run plenty of events for fellow mathmos to get together and mingle; like the Fresher’s Squash right at the start of October, which is likely to be the first mathmo event you go to. Further in, we have our Problems Drive and then in May Week, our annual Garden Party.
In between these, there will be punting trips, Board Games and Pizza Nights, Comedy Events and Movie Nights; and naturally, lots of drinks, cake, pizza and mingling.
