To avoid full school closures in the next pandemic, or even epidemic, epidemiologists need crucial information from schools, students, and parents.

There's a romantic vision of mathematicians only needing pen and paper for their work. Here's why this is far from the truth when it comes to mathematical modelling, used to solve problems in the real world.

The process of diffusion has been studied for centuries.  But reserachers have recently begun to study a competing process –  anti-diffusion. Find out more in this collection of content from a recent research programme at the INI.

Researchers from different fields recently came together to improve our understanding of anti-diffusion, the process behind the distinct bands of Jupiter, that also plays a role in our oceans and in developing plasma fusion reactors.

We talk to the creators of a fantastic tool for exploring maths and science through interactive simulations.

We experience phase transitions every day, but they are some of the most dramatic events natur presents us with. Here's a quick introduction.

Random walks are great for modelling anything that moves, from particles to people. They're also fun, versatile and beautiful!

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.

Our behaviour impacts not just our daily lives.  But how do you mathematically describe the messiness of human behaviour?
