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.
It's all connected – climate change and the spread of diseases
We know climate change can impact our lives through weather events and food security, but it can also impact on the spread of diseases. We talk to Helena Stage from the University of Bristol to find out more.
Happy International Women's Day 2024!To celebrate this year's International Women's Day we revisit some of the articles, podcasts and videos we have produced with women mathematicians over the last year.
To know how it works, see how it movesThe mathematics of movement can describe the behaviour of all types of organisms, from cancer cells to humans.
The mathematics of movementThe mathematics of movement can explain the behaviour of many organisms, from cells to humans. This collection of content explores some this maths and its applications.
Quantum gravity in the can: The holographic principleIt might sound like something from science fiction, but the holographic principle might help us answer the biggest problem in modern physics.
Entropy: From fridge magnets to black holesEntropy is the hero of our story – bringing together physics at every scale.
From steam engines to the limits of physicsCome on a fantastic journey from some of our oldest ideas about physics to the biggest mystery of the modern age!
Mathematics and justiceThis collection of articles looks at mathematics relevant to law and justice.
AI be the judge: The use of algorithms in the criminal justice system
Could AI help judges deliver fair and transparent sentences? A recent study group involving law experts and mathematicians explored the challenges involved.
