Spitalfields Mathematical Society
The Spitalfields Mathematical Society was founded in 1717 by Joseph Middleton.
The society had 64 members when it was established, and at first meetings were held in the Monmouth's Head, a public house in the Spitalfields district of London. Fellows of the society were drawn from artisans and craftsmen such as weavers, apothecaries, brewers, ironmongers, stockbrokers, and makers of optical and mathematical instruments. Well-known members included John Canton, John Dollond, Thomas Simpson, John Crosley, John Tatum, Francis

He gave an invited address on this work at the 2006 ICM in Madrid, a London Mathematical Society Spitalfields Lecture in 2007, the thirty-fifth University of Arkansas Spring Lecture Series in 2010, and an AMS invited address in Syracuse in 2010.
In 2010 William P. Minicozzi received the Oswald Veblen Prize in Geometry together with Tobias Colding for their work on minimal surfaces. In justification of the reward the American Mathematical Society wrote:
In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.
