The Archimedeans, or Cambridge University Mathematical Society, was founded in 1936.

Academical events:

  • Speaker meetings: Arranged fortnightly, where distinguished academics from the UK and occasionally abroad give talks suitable for all undergraduates with interest in mathematics
  • Seminars for Undergraduates (SU2): Aimed to provide undergraduates with interactive seminars to give them an insight into cutting edge mathematics and what it is like to do research

Social events:

  • Triennial Dinner
  • Christmas Dinner (jointly with other Science Societies)
  • Garden Party in May Week (jointly with other Science Societies)
  • Punt Trip to Grantchester
  • Problems Drives
  • Croquet Match against the Invariants


Publications:

  • Eureka: This annually published journal contains brief articles of interest to undergraduate mathematicians, as well as book reviews and problems taken from our annual Problems Drive
  • QUARCH: A very irregularly published problems journal

Bookshop: The society offers low priced mathematical books to all members.
