The Newton Gateway to Mathematics: Spreading mathematical knowledge
The Newton Gateway to Mathematics is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year!
Based in Cambridge, the Newton Gateway provides bridges between mathematicians working on the frontiers of their field and people who use mathematics – in industry, business, the public sector and other scientific disciplines. The Newton Gateway develops and runs activities such as workshops and meetings, bringing people and organisations together in order to share knowledge and stimulate further research and collaboration. It is the impact initiative of the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences.
We are proud to be collaborating with the Newton Gateway to report on its fascinating activities for wider audiences. Below are all the articles and podcasts we have published as part of this collaboration so far.
Happy birthday, Newton Gateway!
Preparing for Disease X
Experts in public health, industry and disease modelling came together this summer to discuss how maths can prepare for the next pandemic.
What are groups and what are they good for? 
Groups are staples in mathematics and group theory is often described as the study of symmetry. But what does that mean? Find out with Justin Chen!
Explaining AI with the help of philosophy 
As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly important in our society, can philosophy offer us a way to explain decisions made by AI systems?
The secret to a happy summer: Seville, causality and staircases! 
As we head get ready for our summer holidays, we share our mathematical highlights from recent events in Spain and the UK and our recommendations for summer reading and listening!
Differential privacy: Keeping your data safe 
The age of Big Data poses a risk to our privacy as even anonymised data can sometimes be linked to individuals. Differential privacy provides a way of protecting sensitive information even when some of it is made public.
Protecting your data in the face of AI 
Artificial intelligence algorithms are often trained on people's personal data. How can we make sure that this data remains private?
Keeping your data safe in the face of AI 
The advent of artificial intelligence poses new threats to the privacy of our personal data. We explore the challenges and a way to address them.
Introducing the Mathsci-comm network 
We are very pleased to be launching this network for those working in, and with a stake in, communicating complex mathematics and data science to a variety of non-expert audiences.
AI be the judge: The use of algorithms in the criminal justice system 
Could AI help judges deliver fair and transparent sentences? A recent study group involving law experts and mathematicians explored the challenges involved.
