The Guthrie Mathematical Society was founded by Thomas N. Guthrie at the age of 14, an aspiring mathematician from Napier, New Zealand. Established in 2024 as a small project, the society quickly grew into a thriving community dedicated to inspiring and supporting those interested in mathematical exploration.

Origins and Founding 

The society was created with the goal of fostering a vibrant community where students and enthusiasts of mathematics could come together to discuss, learn, and innovate. Inspired by a love for problem-solving and a desire to promote mathematical literacy beyond the classroom, Thomas N. Guthrie set out to build a platform for young mathematicians to engage in meaningful discussions and challenges.

Growth and Development

In its early days, the Guthrie Mathematical Society remains in the foundational stage, focused on building a strong community and setting up its first initiatives. While major events and projects are yet to come, the society is actively working to connect with fellow mathematics enthusiasts and lay the groundwork for future activities.

Milestones and Achievements

As the society is still in its early stages, its biggest achievements lie ahead. However, it has already begun fostering a growing community of math enthusiasts, encouraging discussions, and sparking interest in mathematical problem-solving. With future plans for competitions, guest speakers, and research projects, the Guthrie Mathematical Society is on a path to making a lasting impact in the world of mathematics.

Looking Ahead

As the society continues to grow, it remains committed to fostering an environment of discovery and collaboration. With a focus on both theoretical and applied mathematics, the Guthrie Mathematical Society strives to make mathematics more accessible and engaging for all.

Whether you are a seasoned mathematician or just beginning your journey into the world of numbers, the Guthrie Mathematical Society welcomes you to be a part of its ongoing history.
