Euromaths: James Maynard

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.

Generative AI: Examples of the future?

Here's a tour of some of the interesting things generative AI has achieved recently — from Hollywood to advertising!

AI and GoPro physics

Will AI one day be able to spot the equation that describes a physical process just by looking at a video of it? 

GO-Science National Numeracy Day challenge!

We're helping the Government Office for Science (GO Science) to bring you an Olympic challenge for National Numeracy Day! 

Euromaths: Hugo Duminil-Copin

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.

The murmuration conjecture: finding new maths with AI

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.

The murmuration conjecture: finding new maths with AI

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.

Happy Women in Maths Day!

We celebrate Women in Mathematics Day with a look at three amazing women from the history of mathematics.

Heads, Bayes wins!

If you've flipped heads 10 times what's the next flip most likely to be?  Bayes' theorem has the answer, not just for the coin, but for the pursuit of science generally.

Tails, Bayes loses (and invents data assimilation in the process)

Trying to make a prediction about the world based on dodgy data? Then data assimilation has the answer!

String theory: A promise from physics

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

String theory: Convincing mathematics

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.
