Are you thinking of doing a Masters or PhD in maths or another STEM subject but are worried about funding? Then the Martingale Foundation might be for you. Find out more in this episode of Maths on the Move.
We experience phase transitions every day, but they are some of the most dramatic events natur presents us with. Here's a quick introduction.
We explore the maths that helps explain this well-known phenomenon, which says that any two people around the world are likely to be connected through a surprisingly short chain of acquaintance links.
Random walks are great for modelling anything that moves, from particles to people. They're also fun, versatile and beautiful!
Yolanne Lee, A PhD student for the Maths4DL research project, tells us about what she thinks AI will be able to do in the near future, what it has to do with cats and dogs, and how music provided her first experience of science.
Julian Sahasrabudhe wins a Whitehead Prize for combining different areas of maths using the power of combinatorics.
Even simple rules can lead to interesting processes. Play with Conway's famous cellular automaton to see life-like patterns unfold.
When a new infectious disease enters a population everything depends on who catches it — superspreaders or people with few contacts who don't pass it on. We investigate the stochastic nature of the early stages of an outbreak.
Hannah Fry will join us at the University of Cambridge in January as Cambridge's first Professor for the Public Understanding of Mathematics!
Worried about your population of bugs? A branching process can help you understand it.
Hannah Fry is coming to join us in Cambridge! She tells us about her own mathematical research, why she thinks mathematicians have a duty to engage the public, and shares one of her favourite mathematical moments.
We all know what data is and you might know what topology is. But what is topological data analysis? We find out with Heather Harrington.
