Despite all the challenges it faced, the international mathematics community has come together to create an ICM in 2022 like no other.

Mark Braverman has won the Abacus Medal for a mathematical approach to solving problems while sharing as little information as possible.

Maynard went from a fascination with numbers as a young child to making spectacular contributions to number theory that have earned him a Fields Medal.

Hugo Duminil-Copin has been awarded a Fields Medal for solving longstanding problems in statistical physics. He told us about how his work brings together his two loves – maths and physics.

Mark Braverman has won the Abacus Medal for developing the theory of information complexity. He told us about the role of communication in computation, and why a mathematical view can help you understand how to solve problems while sharing as little information as possible.

James Maynard has won a field medal for his work in number theory. He told us how he went from a fascination with numbers as a young child to making spectacular contributions to number theory.

Now it's the turn of mathematicians to help to improve the communities of the future.

The maths behind the S-curves that allow us to tell if a new variant is on the rise.

How to tell quickly if a new variant is on the rise.

To work out the famous R number you need to know the time between infections.
