Who's watching: Can maths exist if you can't see it?
We explore non-constructive proofs and what happens if you try and avoid them.
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.
