In our Maths on the Move podcast we speak to researchers from the frontiers of mathematical science so you can connect with the maths that shapes and explains our world — from applications that directly affect our lives to the wonderful world of pure mathematics. Hosted by Plus editors Rachel Thomas and Marianne Freiberger.

Mathematics as a family event? Listen to one family explain how they worked together to prove a new result in group theory.
Around 1,000 articles are published on arXiv every day — from the proof of the Poincaré Conjecture to research from AI companies like DeepSeek and Gemini. In this podcast we go behind the scenes to learn what it takes to run such a huge mathematical institution.
We speak to Hannah Fry, winner of this year's Leelavati prize, in the run-up to the ICM 2026 about how she feels about being awarded the prize, the role of mathematics in culture, and her favourite experience as a maths communicator.
What is the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in scientific research? In this episode, Cambridge Professor James Fergusson talks about some cutting-edge research which addresses this question.
In this podcast episode, we learn all about gravitational waves - and how coming up with hypothetical stars can help expand our understanding of the Universe.
In this episode of Maths on the Move, Cambridge professor Holly Krieger talks about the benefits of a career in maths, advice for young mathematicians, and what it is like being on Numberphile.
In this episode we speak to Julian Sahasrabudhe in the run up to ICM 2026 about how he got into maths, combinatorics, and finding connections to other areas of maths.
In the run up to the ICM 2026, we speak to one of the invited speakers at the Congress, Richard Samworth, all about his work in statistics.
A digital heart might sound like science fiction, but these personalised mathematical descriptions of patients' hearts are already being put to the test.
In this episode of Living Proof we talk to a playwright and a physicist about a book they have written together on the marvellous but tricky theory of quantum mechanics!
Would you like to play a game? Have an adventure? Join us on an adventure in Model Land!
How can computers best help mathematicians? Not through AI, says Kevin Buzzard, but through proof assistants. This podcast explains what they are and why they turn maths into a collaborative game of many players.
In this episode of the Living Proof podcast we meet Moustapha Fall, President of the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) in Senegal and winner of a prestigious Ramanujan Prize for Young Mathematicians from Developing Countries.
In this episode of Maths on the Move Codina Cotar discusses some of the jaw-dropping entries of a recent maths-art competition.
Find out how topology, traditionally part of pure maths, can help us understand big data, with applications in areas such as cancer research and social justice.
Join us in a wavy dance from the very small to the very large with theoretical physicist David Tong!
Find out about a pioneering new project which builds mathematical models together with the people who are affected.
Zhouli Xu takes us on a trip into higher dimensions, retracing some of the journey towards a proof of the Kervaire invariant problem.
We join Maths4DL researchers for an intensive hackathon working on some of the most challenging problems posed by artificial intelligence.
Will we one day have digital versions of our entire body to help us make medical and life style decisions and see what medical treatments are right for us? Find out in this podcast.
Find out why "the meaning is in the arrows" in our podcast with Adina Goldberg!
From sunny parks to banquets in castles – come with us on an exciting adventure in Oslo as we join the celebrations for the 2025 Abel Prize!
