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 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.
