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!

Creep up on polynomials with this quick introduction.

Fields Medallist June Huh tells us about maths you can "feel and touch" and why maths mirrors who we are as a species

Huh may have had relatively late start in mathematics but his work with maths you can feel and touch has won him a Fields medal.

June Huh has been awarded a Fields Medal for work on combinatorics and algebraic geometry.

Peter Scholze has received the Fields medal 2018 for transforming arithmetic algebraic geometry.

The winner of the 2014 Chern medal tells us about beauty in maths, the twists and turns of mathematical history, and his work for the maths community.

This year's Abel Prize has been awarded to the Belgian mathematician Pierre Deligne for "seminal contributions to algebraic geometry and for their transformative impact on number theory, representation theory, and related fields".

Imaginary is an interactive mathematics exhibition that inspires the imagination with beautiful images. And what is more exciting it allows anyone to step into the world of maths and play with beautiful mathematical surfaces, symmetry and much more. We went along to the Imaginary Barcelona conference, which brought together people involved in the original exhibition in Germany and its recent successful run throughout Spain.
