As of Saturday just gone I'm a member of The British Society for the History of Mathematics's council. I was invited to join as someone who can provide a school teacher's viewpoint.

As such, I'm very interested to know who amongst my networks is a teacher and interested in the BSHM's themes and activities (whether or not you're currently a member).

I've been a member of the BSHM for a few years. It's one of the smaller professional/subject organisations I subscribe to, but it's also one of my favourites and I'm very excited about this new step!

First time I've seen it in the wild! The Mathematicians' Library on sale at a stand run by Kenilworth Books at #TMiP25

I was so surprised I accidentally signed them all!

Today I heard about a lovely quote from a Chinese historian of mathematics whose name has not yet stuck in my brain. The quote was something like...

"Studying the history of mathematics does not make better mathematicians, but it makes gentler, more thoughtful ones."
