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.

cup of tea
Maths in a minute: Diffusion

Whenever you smell the lovely smell of fresh coffee or drop a tea bag into hot water you're benefiting from diffusion. Find a quick introduction to the concept here.

network
Maths in a minute: Random networks

Find out what a random network is, why random networks are useful, and generate your own with our interactivity!

Alexandra Sorinca
Solve for X and the Martingale Foundation

Are you thinking of doing a Masters or PhD in maths or another STEM subject but are worried about funding? Then the Martingale Foundation might be for you. Find out more in this episode of Maths on the Move.

atoms
Maths in a minute: Phase transitions

We experience phase transitions every day, but they are some of the most dramatic events natur presents us with. Here's a quick introduction.

Random walk
Maths in a minute: Random walks

Random walks are great for modelling anything that moves, from particles to people. They're also fun, versatile and beautiful!

Hannah Fry
Hannah Fry will join us in Cambridge!

Hannah Fry will join us at the University of Cambridge in January as Cambridge's first Professor for the Public Understanding of Mathematics!

Hannah Fry: Mathematics for the people

Hannah Fry is coming to join us in Cambridge! She tells us about her own mathematical research,  why she thinks mathematicians have a duty to engage the public, and shares one of her favourite mathematical moments.

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.

Euromaths: Richard Montgomery

Find out about an interesting result in graph theory with EMS prize winner Richard Montgomery.

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?

Happy birthday Timothy Gowers!

Some of the best mathematicians from around the world came together in Cambridge to celebrate the maths of Tim Gowers, as well as his 60th birthday!
