A national (UK) initiative based in Cambridge. Its broad goal is to help people of all ages and abilities share in the excitement of mathematics and understand the enormous range and importance of its applications to science and commerce. It aims to change people's attitudes to mathematics, to act as a national focus for renewing and improving appreciation of the dynamic importance of mathematics and its applications, and to demonstrate the vital contribution of mathematics to shaping the everyday world.
In 1997 the London Mathematical Society extended its provision of lectures at a popular level suitable for those in the 15 to 18 age group who may be considering mathematics for future study. The lectures are called Holgate Lectures in memory of Philip Holgate, who helped ensure the success of the Popular Lecture series.
