The new Cambridge Maths School, supported by the University, welcomed its first-ever students as it opened at the start of the new academic year in September 2023.
In June 2023 scientists detected a low frequency hum of gravitational waves for the first time. In this podcast, researchers from DAMTP's Centre for Theoretical Cosmology explain why these results are so exciting.
Dark energy could be measured by studying the galaxy next door
Researchers from DAMTP have found a potential new way to measure dark energy - the mysterious force that makes up more than two-thirds of the Universe - in our own cosmic backyard.
Fermat's Last Theorem - from history to new mathematics
It's thirty years since Andrew Wiles announced his proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. Discover how this enabled new advances in which researchers from DPMMS are playing a leading role.
Cambridge perspectives: In conversation with Ewan Kirk
Dr Ewan Kirk is Royal Society Entrepreneur in Residence (EiR) at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences. In this video interview he tells us about his route from mathematics to finance, what entrepreneurialism is all about, and what he is planning to do as EiR.
Researchers from DAMTP are helping to develop one of the largest-scale applications yet of machine learning in medicine and healthcare. Discover more about the BloodCounts! project.
Professor Ivan Smith elected Fellow of the Royal Society
Ivan Smith, Professor of Geometry at the Department for Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics (DPMMS), has been elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society.
Daniel Kreuter is a PhD student in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics. He tells us about his work on the BloodCounts! project, which uses machine learning to make optimal use of the billions of blood tests performed every year around the globe.
