Happy New Year, Maths Society members! Despite the sometimes depressing return from the holiday season and the rocky start to 2026 for the world, hopefully you can find solace and confidence for the year ahead in the reassuring and logical world of maths. In this issue, we look back over the biggest maths stories from 2025, from AI to needle conjectures. If you are looking for great mathematical quotes, we have also assembled an extensive collection ready to inspire you through the new year. I hope it will be a good one!
