We talk to David Spiegelhalter about eggs, politics, coins and his new book The art of uncertainty.
Join us at the mathematical frontier with Georg Maierhofer as he tells us about an exciting new idea bringing together physics and machine learning!
Our neighbour Oscar Randal-Williams tells us about his exciting work at the frontiers of mathematics and the fundamental question he might be just about to answer!
Could there be a fifth force of nature hitherto unknown to science? Find out with physicist Ben Allanach in this episode of Maths on the move.
To celebrate this year's International Women's Day we revisit some of the articles, podcasts and videos we have produced with women mathematicians over the last year.
How does maths help in tackling infectious diseases? Join Julia Gog to find out in this series of videos and articles, and have a go at modelling diseases yourself!
With just some simple arithmetic, you can build a basic mathematical model of how a disease might spread. Julia Gog explains how, and there's also some Lego action...
You can explore how we might extend our model but running your own epidemic with our Lucky Dip interactivity. Follow along with Julia as she paves the way to a model that is very similar to the mathematics disease modellers use every day.
