LMS/Gresham Lecture 2025

The LMS/Gresham Lecture is an annual event held in collaboration with Gresham College. 

The event is free of charge, and you can attend either in person in London or online.

This year, the speaker is Robin Wilson (The Open University), giving a talk entitled: 'Sum Stories: Equations and their Origins'.

The abstract is as follows:

"How long is the coastline of Britain? What is a rhombicuboctahedron? Which US president proved Pythagoras’s theorem?

These and many other intriguing questions are addressed in this lecture on renowned mathematical equations and their history. The selected equations span various areas of mathematics and cover a timeline of 4000 years, from early geometry to fractal art."
