The Isaac Newton Institute: Creating eureka moments

To celebrate the anniversary of its proof, this collection of articles, podcasts and videos explores one of the most beguiling theorems in maths.

When you let go of the notions of distance, area, and angles, all you are left with is holes.

We were very excited to meet Andrew Wiles this summer! In this interview and videos he tells us what it was like to prove Fermat's Last Theorem, and what it feels like to do maths.

The Anomalous Mathematical Patterns Sci-Art Contest was held as part of the Stochastic systems for anomalous diffusion research program at the Isaac Newton Institute.

Explore our content on a long-standing problem in topology that has only recently been solved.

Want to expand your horizon? Then discover one of the hardest problems in algebraic topology which has only recently been solved: the Kervaire invariant problem.

Zhouli Xu takes us on a trip into higher dimensions, retracing some of the journey towards a proof of the Kervaire invariant problem.

We continue our journey towards a proof of the Kervaire invariant problem.

We explore a famous problem which shaped 20th century topology. 

Will we one day have digital versions of our entire body to help us make medical and life style decisions and see what medical treatments are right for us? Find out in this podcast.
