context_page_description: The Trinity Mathematical Society, abbreviated TMS, was founded in Trinity College, Cambridge in 1919 by G. H. Hardy to "promote the discussion of subjects of mathematical interest". It is the oldest mathematical university society in the United Kingdom and is believed to be the oldest existing subject society at any British university.
  Today, the society is one of the largest societies in Trinity College, with nearly 600 members, and each year holds an extensive range of talks, together with social events including an annual cricket match against the Adams Society of St John's College, Cambridge.
  The society has hosted a range of distinguished speakers, including: M.Atiyah, A.Baker; B.Birch; C.Birkar; B.Bollobás; M.Born; J.H.Conway; H.S.M.Coxeter; H.Davenport; P.Dirac; F.W.Dyson; O.R.Frisch; W.T.Gowers; G.H.Hardy; W.V.D.Hodge; P.Kaptiza; E.Landau; J.E.Littlewood; L.J.Mordell; R.Penrose; G.Polya; R.Rado; F.Ramsey; B.Russell; E.Rutherford; P.Swinnerton-Dyer; J.J.Thompson; W.Thurston; L.Wittgenstein.
  The logo of the society is the minimal perfect squared square.
