The Isaac Newton Institute: Creating eureka moments

We celebrate the run-up to the European Congress of Mathematics (ECM) with Fields Medallist Maryna Viazovska who previously won a prestigious EMS prize at the ECM.

How many ways can you write a number as the sum of smaller numbers?  

The age of Big Data poses a risk to our privacy as even anonymised data can sometimes be linked to individuals. Differential privacy provides a way of protecting sensitive information even when some of it is made public.

Artificial intelligence algorithms are often trained on people's personal data. How can we make sure that this data remains private? 

How does artificial intelligence manage to produce reliable outputs? Stochastic gradient descent has the answer!

The advent of artificial intelligence poses new threats to the privacy of our personal data.  We explore the challenges and a way to address them.

In the run up to the European Congress of Mathematics we continue our series of interviews with mathematicians who've won the prestigious Fields Medal. This week we hear from James Maynard talking about the twin prime conjecture.

We celebrate the run-up to the European Congress of Mathematics (ECM) with an interview with Fields Medallist Hugo Duminil-Copin, who previously won a prestigious EMS prize at the ECM.

Yang-Hui He tells us about his exciting new conjecture that came about due to both artificial and human intelligence, and reveals patterns in the prime numbers that look like flocks of birds.

Artificial intelligence is changing all our lives - even the lives of mathematicians.  Yang-Hui He tells us about his exciting new conjecture that came about due to both artificial and human intelligence, and reveals patterns in the prime numbers that look like flocks of birds.

Mathematics is an indispensable tool in physics, but can physics solve problem in maths? Find out more in this article.

Find out how a theory from physics has provided tools for solving long-standing problems in number theory. And in turn how number theory helps solve the mystery of black holes.
