The Isaac Newton Institute: Creating eureka moments

One of the most exciting places in the mathematical world is the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences (INI), an international research centre and our neighbour here on the University of Cambridge's maths campus.
The INI attracts leading mathematical scientists from all over the world, and is open to all. We are proud to be collaborating with the INI to bring the cutting edge mathematics that is being done there to the general public. The following content is part of this collaboration.

Celebrating spring with new shoots of mathematics

From tiling bathrooms to fooling cancer cells, and from new insights in topology to bringing research into the classroom — we hope you enjoy our April round-up!

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.

The force awakens: Quantum collisionsCould there be a fifth force of nature hitherto unknown to science? Find out with physicist Ben Allanach in this episode of Maths on the move.
Take a minute to celebrate pi day!

Celebrate pi day with some of our favourite ideas from the mathematical sciences!

Maths in a minute: Polynomials

Creep up on polynomials with this quick introduction.

It's all connected – climate change and the spread of diseases

We know climate change can impact our lives through weather events and food security, but it can also impact on the spread of diseases. We talk to Helena Stage from the University of Bristol to find out more.

Happy International Women's Day 2024!

To celebrate this year's International Women's Day we revisit some of the articles, podcasts and videos we have produced with women mathematicians over the last year.

Maths in a minute: Algebraic varieties

Explore the wonderful world where geometry meets algebra.

To know how it works, see how it moves

The mathematics of movement can describe the behaviour of all types of organisms, from cancer cells to humans.

The mathematics of movement

The mathematics of movement can explain the behaviour of many organisms, from cells to humans. This collection of content explores some this maths and its applications.

Quantum gravity in the can: The holographic principle

It might sound like something from science fiction, but the holographic principle might help us answer the biggest problem in modern physics.

Entropy: From fridge magnets to black holes

Entropy is the hero of our story – bringing together physics at every scale.
