Aitken Lectureship
{{short description|Award conferred by the New Zealand Mathematical Society}}
The Aitken Lectureship is awarded by the New Zealand Mathematical Society to a research mathematician from New Zealand. The lectureship is named for New Zealander Professor Alexander Aitken, formerly of the University of Edinburgh. The lectureship was funded in 2009 by the London Mathematical Society and the New Zealand Mathematical Society, and is normally awarded every two years, alternating with the Forder Lectureship. Recipients of the lectureship will give a several-week lecturing tour of UK universities and a lecture at the annual meeting of the London society.{{Cite web|url=https://www.lms.ac.uk/events/lectures/forder-and-aitken-lectureship|title=LMS-NZMS Forder and Aitken Lectureships {{!}} London Mathematical Society|website=www.lms.ac.uk|language=en|access-date=2018-11-13}}
