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.
Find all of our podcasts, from the latest back to the very first in 2007!
Yolanne Lee, A PhD student for the Maths4DL research project, tells us about what she thinks AI will be able to do in the near future, what it has to do with cats and dogs, and how music provided her first experience of science.
Hannah Fry is coming to join us in Cambridge! She tells us about her own mathematical research, why she thinks mathematicians have a duty to engage the public, and shares one of her favourite mathematical moments.
We all know what data is and you might know what topology is. But what is topological data analysis? We find out with Heather Harrington.
Join us for a game of mathematical billiards in this episode of Maths on the Move.
In this episode mathematician Jessica Fintzen, winner of a prestigious EMS Prize, tells us how to capture infinitely many snowflakes at the same time, the maths of symmetry, and why she likes doing handstands.
Find out about an interesting result in graph theory with EMS prize winner Richard Montgomery.
We talk to David Spiegelhalter about eggs, politics, coins and his new book The art of uncertainty.
Are there other universes besides our own? And if yes, what can we say about them? Find out with this episode of Maths on the move.
Groups are staples in mathematics and group theory is often described as the study of symmetry. But what does that mean? Find out with Justin Chen!
Should we allow mathematical proofs to contain errors? We find out from Avi Wigderson in our podcast series covering the European Congress of Mathematics 2024.
A Gömböc is an inanimate object that wriggles around as if it were alive and in some sense barely exist at all — and it's a mathematical sensation! Find out more in this episode of Maths on the move!
How far away are we from discovering alien life? And how long until we manage to create life in the lab? This episodes of Maths on the move explores these questions and more with one of our favourite astrophysicists, Mario Livio.
As we head get ready for our summer holidays, we share our mathematical highlights from recent events in Spain and the UK and our recommendations for summer reading and listening!
Our behaviour impacts not just our daily lives. But how do you mathematically describe the messiness of human behaviour?
We celebrate the run-up to the European Congress of Mathematics (ECM) with Fields Medallist Maryna Viazovska who previously won a prestigious EMS prize at the ECM.
In the run up to the European Congress of Mathematics we continue our series of interviews with mathematicians who've won the prestigious Fields Medal. This week we hear from Artur Avila talking about his work on taming chaos.
In the run up to the European Congress of Mathematics we continue our series of interviews with mathematicians who've won the prestigious Fields Medal. This week we hear from Alessio Figalli talking about the theory of optimal transport.
In the run up to the European Congress of Mathematics we continue our series of interviews with mathematicians who've won the prestigious Fields Medal. This week we hear from James Maynard talking about the twin prime conjecture.
We celebrate the run-up to the European Congress of Mathematics (ECM) with an interview with Fields Medallist Hugo Duminil-Copin, who previously won a prestigious EMS prize at the ECM.
Artificial intelligence is changing all our lives - even the lives of mathematicians. Yang-Hui He tells us about his exciting new conjecture that came about due to both artificial and human intelligence, and reveals patterns in the prime numbers that look like flocks of birds.
"The 20th century was the interaction of geometry and physics, and the 21st century is the interaction of number theory with physics." Find out why in our conversation with Yang-Hui He from the London Institute of Mathematical Sciences!
In this episode of Maths on the move we discuss the fascinating intersection of mathematics and art.
In this episode we revisit an interview with Ken Ono about the remarkable Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan, one of the most fascinating figures in the history of mathematics.
From tiling bathrooms to fooling cancer cells, and from new insights in topology to bringing research into the classroom — we hope you enjoy our April round-up!
