TMS Michaelmas Termcard 2020/21 and Welcome

Dear TMS Members old and new,
A warm welcome from all of us in the Trinity Mathematical Society Committee. With the advent of the 2020/21 academic year, we are delighted to share news regarding an excellent range of speakers, free entry to talks this term, and updated outreach.

Michaelmas Termcard

We are proud to present a diverse range of acclaimed speakers, including a Nobel Prize Winner, professors from Harvard, MIT and Columbia University, and the esteemed Professor Béla Bollobás of Trinity College. Please find the Termcard attached (with an updated design for this year).

Free Entry for Michaelmas Term

For Michaelmas Term only, TMS talks will be available to all. A form will be sent out a few days before each talk, and those who sign up will be sent the Zoom link for the talk on the day. Becoming a member of the TMS traditionally requires £2.50 for lifetime membership, but we have deferred such matters to Lent Term, providing open access to talks this term.

Updated Outreach

We encourage our new members to explore the history of the TMS, now in its 102nd year. You can research further on our website. Updates can also be found on our Facebook group. Starting from this year, we have also implemented a feedback system, should you have any suggestions for new events, feedback for the talks, or any other request in general. All resources are listed below.
We look forward to seeing you at the talks. Details about the first talk and a message from our sponsors, Jump Trading, will be sent in further emails.
All the best,
Michael Ng
TMS Secretary 2020/21
