Information About

Institute Of Mathematics And Its Applications




The Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) is one of the UK's Professional Bodies for Mathematician s (the other main ones being the
London Mathematical Society and the Royal Statistical Society ). The Institute was founded in 1964 by Sir James Lighthill and its mission is to promote mathematics in industry, business, the public sector, education and research. Lighthill's vision of combining a learned society with a professional body is still valid today and reflected in the diversity of the institute's 5000 members.

In 1990 the Institute was incorporated by Royal Charter and was subsequently granted the right to award Chartered Mathematician (CMath) status. The Institute may also nominate individuals for the award of Chartered Scientist (CSci).
