    Happy Ada Lovelace Day 2025!

    10 October, 2025

    October 14 2025 is Ada Lovelcace Day! The day aims to raise the profile of women in science, technology, engineering and maths by encouraging people around the world to talk about the women whose work they admire.

    We celebrate by revisiting some of the articles and podcasts we produced with women mathematicians over the last year. We hope you enjoy the content. To find out about Ada Lovelace herself read Ada Lovelace: Visions of today and Analysing Ada.

    Liz Fearon: Co-producing mathematics with the public

    In this episode of our Maths on the Move podcast Liz Fearon tells us about a pioneering new project which builds mathematical models together with the people who are affected. You can also read the accompanying article.

    Alison Hale

    OK computer

    There's a romantic vision of mathematicians only needing pen and paper for their work. Alison Hale tells us why this is far from the truth when it comes to mathematical modelling, used to solve problems in the real world.

    Hannah Fry

    Hannah Fry will join us in Cambridge!

    Hannah Fry joined us at the University of Cambridge in January 2025 as Cambridge's first Professor for the Public Understanding of Mathematics! Read our interview with her or listen to it in our podcast.

    Working in AI: Yolanne Lee

    In this episode of our Maths on the Move podcast Yolanne Lee, A PhD student for the Maths4DL research project, tells us about what she thinks AI will be able to do in the near future, what it has to do with cats and dogs, and how music provided her first experience of science.

    Heather Harrington

    Euromaths: Heather Harrington

    We all know what data is and you might know what topology is. But what is topological data analysis? We find out with Heather Harrington in this episode of our Maths on the Move podcast.

    Jessica Fintzen

    Euromaths: Jessica Fintzen

    In this episode of our Maths on the Move podcast mathematician Jessica Fintzen, winner of a prestigious EMS Prize, tells us how to capture infinitely many snowflakes at the same time, the maths of symmetry, and why she likes doing handstands.
