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.

Welcome to the world of symmetry
Explore the mathematical study of symmetry with this collection of content, which includes short introductions, in-depth articles, a podcast, and some magic!
New perspectives in symmetry
What is group theory and why is it such an exciting area of maths? Two experts explain.
Maths in a minute: Cyclic groups
When things go round and round, a cyclic group may be just what you need!
Maths in a minute: Representing groups
Groups occur all over mathematics, so it makes sense to find a common language to talk about them all.

The mathematics of shufflingA journey into the maths of card shuffling gives us a great insight into how mathematicians work.
AI, babies, and agencyIn this podcast we find out why true artificial intelligence will only become possible once machines have something that babies are born with: agency.
The agent perspectiveHow do we learn and understand the world? What separates us from machines? Yoshua Bengio believes it all comes down to our agency.
Building meaning: dog or ostrichHow do we build our models of the world? Yoshua Bengio explains how deep learning will help machines act to understand the world in a similar way.
