In this excerpt from his new book, Blueprints, Marcus du Sautoy makes a case for the suprising connections between maths and art.
This year's Abel Prize has been awarded to the German mathematician Gerd Faltings for work that brings together number theory and geometry to solve equations.
A short explanation of the fundamentals of category theory.
We're celebrating this year's Pi day by looking at all the winners of the Abel Prize since it was first awarded in 2003.
Disruptions to public services are annoying – but that data about these disruptions is more useful than you might think.
Category theory, which has previously been described as "abstract nonsense" turns out to be just the language we need to describe materials that may help us build quantum computers. Find out more in this article.
The quantum Hall effect is a curious phenomenon: not only does it make effects from quantum physics visible in the macroscopic world, it also links physics to the pure mathematical area of topology. Find out more in this article.
What does water feeding to ice have to do with symmetry? This article provides an answer and begins to tell the astonishing story of how theory once denounced as "abstract nonsense" may help us build quantum computers.
Gravitational waves have provided a wealth of information about black holes. But could other objects be hiding in this data too? Researchers are exploring this idea, which may also help resolve the mystery of dark matter.
How do mathematicians help policy makers make the best decisions?
