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.
Maryna Viazovska has won one of this year's Fields Medals for a ground-breaking result in the theory of sphere packings.
The Gauss Prize 2022: Elliott LiebElliott Lieb has been awarded the 2022 Gauss Prize for outstanding contributions to physics, chemistry, and pure mathematics.
The Chern Medal 2022: Barry MazurBarry Mazur has received the 2022 Chern Medal for profound discoveries in topology, arithmetic geometry and number theory.
The Fields Medals 2022: James MaynardJames Maynard has won a field medal for his work in number theory. He told us how he went from a fascination with numbers as a young child to making spectacular contributions to number theory.
Maths in a minute: CombinatoricsWhether you want to understand viruses, win at lotto or solve a rubik's cube – you'll need some help from combinatorics.
Kinetic theory: Taming multitudesKinetic theory bridges the gap between the big and the small to understand systems made up of many components: from plasmas to people.
The maths and magic of shufflingIn this podcast mathematician Cheryl Praeger and magician Will Houstoun reveal the maths and magic behind shuffling cards.
The inequalities of COVID-19The COVID-19 pandemic has amplified the differences between us. Understanding these inequalities is crucial for this and future pandemics.
