The Joint Mathematical Council of the United Kingdom was formed in 1963 to:  'provide co-ordination between the Constituent
Societies and generally to promote the advancement of mathematics and the improvement of the teaching of mathematics’.  In
pursuance of this, the JMC serves as a forum for discussion between societies and for making representations to government
and other bodies and responses to their enquiries. It is concerned with all aspects of mathematics at all levels from primary to
higher education.
