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.
Can you hear the shape of a drum? The question leads to surprisingly rich mathematics that has a huge rage of applications. Find out more with this collection of content.
This summer has seen rapid advances in artificial intelligence solving hard, and iconic, mathematical problems. The developments are exciting to some mathematicians, but others worry about what they mean for the future of the field. This content looks at some of the questions AI has solved, how it can be a help, and what mathematicians have been discussing.
To celebrate Ada Lovelace day, we've spoken to some of the brilliant women honoured at the International Congress of Mathematicians.
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.
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.
