- Institute of Mathematics and its Applications
:"The Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) is distinct from the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications in Minneapolis.":"FIMA redirects here. Or see FEMA.The Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) is one of the UK's professional bodies for mathematicians (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). Recently, the IMA and the Councils of the London Mathematical Society have jointly announced the launch of the Christopher Zeeman Medal, the first UK award, dedicated to recognising excellence in the communication of mathematics.
The IMA runs a vigorous and expanding program of activities dedicated to enabling mathematicians in expanding their skills and knowledge as well as keeping them updated in new developments and applications.
