The M500 Society began in 1973 as a self-help group for Open University
maths students in Southampton.
Now there are members throughout Britain and in many other countries
across the world.
The M500 Society helps to mitigate student isolation by means of
the M500
Magazine, the MOUTHS
and MATES
directories and the Mathematics Weekends.
The M500 Magazine
This is published free to all M500 members six times a year. It
contains articles, comments, puzzles, reviews and news submitted
by members.
It is aimed at all levels of mathematical attainment from Foundation
to Postgraduate.
MOUTHS
(Mathematics Open University Telephone Help Scheme)
A directory of students and staff who have volunteered to help other
students with their courses. Contact is by telephone or e-mail.
The directory is issued free to all M500 members except those in
closed institutions.
MATES
A list similar to MOUTHS which is compiled for
members in closed institutions such as prisons.
