A new language to talk about quantum physics is making calculations a whole lot easier.

What are mathematical invariants and why are they useful?

The Abel Prize 2025 has been awarded to Masaki Kashiwara for contributions to algebraic analysis and representation theory. Find out what this means with our article!

This article explores this most beautiful of numbers. Find out its definition, why its value can only ever be approximated, what it has to do with waves, and why it contains the history of the Universe. 

We celebrate pi day with a look at the number itself as well as some of its fellow numbers we particularly like.

One of the most important mathematicians of her time, Noether also proved a fundamental result in physics.

To avoid full school closures in the next pandemic, or even epidemic, epidemiologists need crucial information from schools, students, and parents.

Ingenious uses of maths have provided the key to internet security, but how can we secure our digital lives in the face of quantum computing?

Find out about lattice-based cryptography – the best candidate for keeping our networks safe in the face of attacks by quantum computers – in this brief introduction.

A lattice may seem like a simple regular grid of points, but it leads to fascinating new research in maths and cryptography!

Quantum computing often grabs the headlines. The word "quantum" itself is intriguing enough, but what exactly is quantum computing?

Ingenious maths keeps your credit card details safe when you shop online and underlies the security of the internet.  Find out how in this easy introduction.
