INI

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.

Bye bye 23, hello 24!

In the final episode of Maths on the move for this year we revisit some 2023 highlights and look forward to next year.

The holographic principle

Over the last few decades physicists have been developing a curious idea. Perhaps the world we inhabit is a hologram, lacking a crucial feature of the world as we perceive it: the third dimension.

Maths in a minute: Mathematical models

A basic introduction to the most powerful tools in science and engineering.

Can we build a low carbon energy network?

In this episode of our podcast we discuss the challenges involved in moving away from fossil fuels.

The Plus advent calendar 2023

In this year's advent calendar we revisit some of our favourite episodes of our Maths on the move podcast. From the maths of chocolate to the maths of music, there's something here for everyone!

Building a theory of quantum gravity

This collection of articles looks at one of the biggest problems in modern physics and at research that aims to solve it.

Maths in a minute: Algorithms

The word "algorithm" has probably got more usage over the last few years than it has in its entire history. But what exactly is an algorithm?

Maths in a minute: Conditional probability

Find out why the formula we use to work out conditional probabilities is true!

Creating a low carbon energy network

The UK is aiming for a decarbonised electricity supply by 2035. In this collection of articles we look at some of the mathematical, technical, and intellectual questions involved.

New understanding of a neglected disease

New research reported at this year's Black Heroes of Mathematics conference is changing lives around the world.

Can data science help rebuild our trauma networks?

Can mathematics help reshape our hospital networks?

Telescope topology — the podcast

We look at an important recent result exploring higher-dimensional holes in higher-dimensional spheres.
