Trinity Societies Prospectus 2022

Mathematical Society
Are you excited to discuss new ideas at the cutting edge of mathematical research?
Ever wondered why (almost) every mathmo loves brown bread ice cream?
The Trinity Mathematical Society was founded in 1919 by Hardy with an aim to
"promote the discussion of subjects of mathematical interest". More than a century
later, we are (we believe) the oldest surviving subject society at any British
university. We host talks every Monday, where we invite mathematicians from
across the world to discuss their research. In the past, we have hosted Hardy,
Conway, Bollobás, Atiyah, Davenport, Wittgenstein, Susskind and many more. We
also organise a range of social events, most famously our Annual Dinner and our
annual cricket match against the Adams Society at John’s.
As one of the oldest societies, we also hold a certain degree of fascination for our
traditions of dropping apples, "Call My Bluff" and Trinity’s famous brown bread ice
cream...
