Rong Zhou recently joined DPMMS as a Lecturer. We caught up with him to talk about equations that can’t be solved, surprising connections in number theory, and the energy of the Faculty.
The Faculty's NRICH mathematics education project focuses on developing problem-solving, and is celebrating 25 years of support for schools, teachers, students and parents.
Ailsa Keating, from the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics, has been awarded a prestigious Starting Grant from the European Research Council to further her research into the symmetries of symplectic spaces.
Matthew Wales is a PhD student at the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics. Here he tells us about the joys of pure mathematics, how it feels to produce your very own mathematical result, and the importance of coffee in the world of maths.
Mathematical paradox demonstrates the limits of AI
A new study by researchers in DAMTP suggests instability is the Achilles’ heel of modern AI, and that a century-old mathematical paradox shows the gap researchers now need to bridge.
Revolutionary machine learning techniques are being developed by researchers from the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) to support forest conservation in India.
Professor Jerome Neufeld has developed a new model of the formation of the Moon's crust that finally explains the diversity and range of ages of rocks from the lunar surface.
Kasia Warburton is a PhD student in the Theoretical Geophysics research group at DAMTP. Here she tells us about her work on glaciers, the joys of collaboration, and the excitement of moments when things click into place.
UK schools have received more than 300,000 CO2 monitors as part of a government initiative supported by researchers from DAMTP to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
