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.
Fields Medallist Duminil-Copin's work in statistical physics brings together his two loves – maths and physics.
A short introduction to the work of James MaynardMaynard went from a fascination with numbers as a young child to making spectacular contributions to number theory that have earned him a Fields Medal.
The Fields Medals 2022: Hugo Duminil-CopinHugo Duminil-Copin has been awarded a Fields Medal for solving longstanding problems in statistical physics. He told us about how his work brings together his two loves – maths and physics.
The Abacus Medal 2022: Mark BravermanMark Braverman has won the Abacus Medal for developing the theory of information complexity. He told us about the role of communication in computation, and why a mathematical view can help you understand how to solve problems while sharing as little information as possible.
