This short video features one of our favourite mathematicians, Corinna Ulcigrai from the University of Bristol, talking about mathematical billiards, its connection to chaos theory, and why mathematicians study it. You can also read our article Chaos on the billiard table, based on an interview with Ulcigrai.
This video was originally produced for the Cambridge Mathematics Education Project.
