The Isaac Newton Institute: Creating eureka moments

We can't visualise it, but we can still think about it! And there are clever ways of glimpsing what it might look like.

In this episode of the Living proof podcast we talk to Sarah Hart about how she combines maths, literature and history in her interesting career.

What are mathematical invariants and why are they useful?

The mathematician Emmy Noether was a "creative mathematical genius" (Albert Einstein) whose work had far-reaching impact beyond the world of pure mathematics. This collection brings together content exploring Noether's life and work

In this episode of Maths on the Move we talk to historian of mathematics David E. Rowe about the play Diving into math with Emmy Noether.

Find our what the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences is doing to promote the communication of mathematics and hear from mathematical communications superstar Hannah Fry!

One of the most important mathematicians of her time, Noether also proved a fundamental result in physics.

To avoid full school closures in the next pandemic, or even epidemic, epidemiologists need crucial information from schools, students, and parents.

Our digital, networked lives are only possible thanks to cryptography, but quantum computing could make our current techniques useless. How can we prepare for this quantum future and ensure we can continue to live our digital lives?

Ingenious uses of maths have provided the key to internet security, but how can we secure our digital lives in the face of quantum computing?

Find out about lattice-based cryptography – the best candidate for keeping our networks safe in the face of attacks by quantum computers – in this brief introduction.

A lattice may seem like a simple regular grid of points, but it leads to fascinating new research in maths and cryptography!
