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!

The mathematical forces that fought COVID-19

The COVID-19 emergency resulted in some amazing mathematical collaborations.

The inequalities of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has amplified the differences between us. Understanding these inequalities is crucial for this and future pandemics.

Supporting healthcare with AI

Mathematicians are developing new machine learning techniques to support medical doctors in their work.

Can maths help improve the communities of the future?

Now it's the turn of mathematicians to help to improve the communities of the future.

Reducing NHS waiting lists in the wake of COVID

Mathematicians help with clearing the massive NHS backlog for heart conditions.

Can game theory help to vaccinate the world?

Game theory suggests that sharing vaccine doses might give a selfish, as well as moral, advantage.

Happy International Women's day 2022!

We celebrate by revisiting some of the articles and podcasts we have produced with female mathematicians over the last year.

Hiding in plane sight

Flying a plane on a secret mission? Some basic geometry can help you avoid being captured by an adversary.

Understanding the generation time for COVID-19

How long does it take for one person to infect another?

Pandemics and psychology

Can you capture people's behaviour in epidemiological models?

Keeping people safe at large events

How can sporting events, concerts, or festivals be kept safe in the face of rising COVID-19 infections?

COVID-19 and universities: What do we know?

What can last year's experiences tell us about the coming academic year?
