Voting systems are back in the news. But what is the best option? Why should we change from what we have already? Maths can help us explore these questions.
One of the beautiful things about maths is that every concept is part of a bigger picture — a picture that grows over time, transcends traditional boundaries, and often informs a range of real-world applications. The collections below aim to present some of these mathematical jigsaws by bringing together content exploring specific topics from different perspectives and at varying levels of depth.

This week we're at the HLF with some of the greatest minds in maths!
See all our coverage of this year's ICM at a glance!
It's the FIFA World Cup! In case the 104 matches aren't enough football for you, we have created a collection of resources all about the maths underpinning the game.
A research programme at the Isaac Newton Institute is investigating how to best discern cause and effect from data.
Pure mathematics has a habit of eventually becoming useful. This series of articles explores an example: the rise of category theory in physics and the quest to build quantum computers.
We celebrate by revisiting some of the articles and podcasts we produced with women mathematicians over the last year.
See all our content on this fascinating method that uses pure maths to analyse real-life data.
Explore our content on a long-standing problem in topology that has only recently been solved.
In time for the award of the Abel Prize to this year's winner we explore our coverage of the Prize since it was first awarded in 2003.
To celebrate the 100th anniversary of quantum mechanics we bring together some of our introductory material on this marvellous theory. Expand your mind and enjoy!
