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.

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!

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!

Moduli spaces: Exploring the torus space

This article describes how you can describe the entire universe of Riemann tori (surfaces that look like dooughnuts) in one go.

Moduli spaces: What type of Riemann tori are there?

A Riemann torus is a surface that looks like a doughnut. This articles explored how you might tell Riemann tori apart.

Moduli spaces: Introducing Riemann surfaces

How many different surfaces are there? The question seems impossible to answer, but mathematicians have a way of dealing with the multitude. Follow us on a journey into the world of moduli spaces.

Moduli spaces: A journey into the world of shapes

How many different surfaces are there? The question seems impossible to answer but mathematicians are good at dealing with multitudes. Follow us into the world of moduli spaces!

How to (im)prove mathematics

Find out how a story starting with the simple notion of counting ends in a revolutionary new way of doing maths that uses computers to harness the power of human collaboration!

Euromaths: Maryna Viazovska

We celebrate the run-up to the European Congress of Mathematics (ECM) with Fields Medallist Maryna Viazovska who previously won a prestigious EMS prize at the ECM.
