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.
How does human noise impact whales?We talk to Stuart Johnston who uses mathematics to find out how noise pollution in the oceans impacts whales.
Balancing the equations of a low carbon energy networkGenerating electricity without the use of fossil fuels is not just an engineering and industrial challenge, it is also a huge mathematical challenge.
Maths in a minute: Non-linearityNon-linear relationships are tricky relationships. Find out why here.
Living Proof: The irrational diary of Clara ValentineIn this podcast author Coralie Colmez shares insights into her novel The irrational diary of Clara Valentine.
Mathematical summer funWe talk to early career mathematicians who spent some of their summer holiday solving problems posed by industry — such as how to blend a perfect smoothie!
Meat free meat with mathsDon't like plant-based meat alternatives, but want to spare animals and the environment? There's hope on the horizon, aided by a good helping of maths.
A richer view of the insideThe mathematics of tomography has revolutionised modern medicine by allowing us to see inside a person's body and saved countless lives. Now new mathematics is being developed to give us an even better view.
Maths in a minute: Inverse problemsInverse problems are mathematical detective problems. They can help solve crimes, are used in medical imaging, and much more.
