The Oxford University Invariant Society, or 'The Invariants', is a university society open to members of Oxford University, dedicated to promotion of interest in mathematics.〔Invariants Society Constitution, http://www.invariants.org.uk/constitution〕 The society regularly hosts talks from prominent British mathematicians〔http://www.sciencecentral.com/site/501035〕 such as G. H. Hardy on wide ranging topics from the mathematics of juggling to the history of mathematics.〔http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/Biographies/Higman.html Biography of Graham Higman〕〔http://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/about/history/ Oxford Maths Institute: History of Mathematics〕 Many prominent British mathematicians were members of the society during their time at the University of Oxford. == History ==
The Society was founded in 1936 by J. H. C. Whitehead, Graham Higman〔http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/Biographies/Higman.html Biography of Graham Higman〕 and Jack de Wet. The name of the society was chosen at random by Higman from the titles of the books; in this case, Oswald Veblen's ''Invariants of Quadratic Differential Forms''. The opening lecture was G. H. Hardy on Round Numbers.〔''The Early History of the Invariant Society'' by Robin Wilson, printed in ''The Invariant'' (2010), Ben Hoskin〕〔(Professor Graham Higman's Obituary in The Daily Telegraph )〕 Though many members joined the forces during the war, meetings continued, including lectures by Douglas Hartree and H. A. Newman, as well as debates - 'Is Mathematics an end in itself?' - and mathematical films.〔''The Early History of the Invariant Society'' by Robin Wilson, printed in ''The Invariant'' (2010), Ben Hoskin〕
