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.
Maths in a minute: Differential equations
Change is the only constant in our lives — which is why differential equations are so useful.
Maths in a minute: EntropyIs it about energy? Is it about disorder? Or is it about information? It's all three!
Maths in a minute: The information paradoxExplore a mystery that intrigued Stephen Hawking until the end of his life.
The dynamics of crowds Human beings are wilful and don't always act rationally. Yet, mathematical models of the behaviour of crowds are surprisingly accurate.
Maths in a minute: Higher dimensionsIn normal life higher dimensions smack of science fiction, but in mathematics they are nothing out of the ordinary.
What is machine learning?Find out how a little bit of maths can enable a machine to learn from experience.
Emmy Noether and the power of symmetry
2018 is the centenary of a mathematical result that changed the character of physics.
Invisibility cloaksFully functioning invisibility cloaks are closer to becoming a reality than you might think. Here's a quick look at the maths and science involved in producing them.
Energetic mathsProducing electricity securely, safely, reliably and cheaply has many challenges. Chris Budd explains that the answer to many of these issues is maths.
Maths in a minute: Black holesA quick introduction to the monsters that lurk at the centre of each galaxy.
Andrew Wiles: what does it feel like to do maths?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.
