Oxford Mathematics Public Lectures: Marc Lackenby - Knotty Problems

Knots are a familiar part of everyday life, for example tying your tie or doing up your shoe laces. They play a role in numerous physical and biological phenomena, such as the untangling of DNA when it replicates.

Oxford Mathematics First Year Student Tutorial on Dynamics

The Oxford Mathematics educational experience is a journey, a journey like any other educational experience.

Oxford Mathematics 1st Year Undergraduate Lecture James Sparks - Dynamics

For the first time ever, Oxford Mathematics has live streamed a student lecture. It took 800 years but now you can see what it is really like. We hope you find it familiar and intriguing and challenging.

James Maynard - Prime Time: How simple questions about prime numbers affect us all

Prime Numbers are fascinating, crucial and ubiquitous. The trouble is, we don't know that much about them. James Maynard, one of the leading researchers in the field explains all (at least as far as he can).

Oxford Mathematics Public Lectures: Hooke Lecture - Michael Berry - Chasing the dragon: tidal bores in the UK and elsewhere

In some of the world’s rivers, an incoming high tide can arrive as a smooth jump decorated by undulations, or as a breaking wave. The river reverses direction and flows upstream.

Oxford Mathematics Student Lectures: An Introduction to Complex Numbers - Vicky Neale

Much is written about life as an undergraduate at Oxford but what is it really like?

Oxford Mathematics Public Lectures: Marcus du Sautoy - The Num8er My5teries

With topics ranging from prime numbers to the lottery, from lemmings to bending balls like Beckham, Professor Marcus du Sautoy provides an entertaining and, perhaps, unexpected approach to explain how mathematics can be used to predict the future.

Roger Penrose in conversation with Hannah Fry - Oxford Mathematics Public Lectures

In our Oxford Mathematics London Public Lecture Roger Penrose in conversation with Hannah Fry reveals his latest research, a veritable chain reaction of universes, which he says has been backed by evidence of events that took place before the Big Bang.

Oxford Mathematics and the Clay Mathematics Institute Public Lectures: Roger Penrose - Eschermatics

In this lecture Roger Penrose uses M.C Escher's work to illustrate and explain important mathematical ideas and their connections to the visual arts.

John Ball in conversation with Alain Goriely

John Ball is retiring as Sedleian Professor of Natural Philosophy, Oxford oldest Scientific Chair. In this interview he charts the journey of the Applied Mathematician.as the subject has developed over the last 50 years.

Oxford Mathematics Public Lectures - Richard James - Atomistically inspired origami

The World population is growing at about 80 million per year. As time goes by, there is necessarily less space per person. Perhaps this is why the scientific community seems to be obsessed with folding things.

Oxford Mathematics Public Lectures - Numbers are Serious but they are also Fun - Michael Atiyah

Archimedes, who famously jumped out of his bath shouting "Eureka", also 'invented' the number pi. Euler invented e and had fun with his formula e^(2 pi i) = 1. The world is full of important numbers waiting to be invented. Why not have a go?

Oxford Mathematics Public Lectures - Can Mathematics Understand the Brain?' - Alain Goriely

The human brain is the object of the ultimate intellectual egocentrism. It is also a source of endless scientific problems and an organ of such complexity that it is not clear that a mathematical approach is even possible, despite many attempts.

Oxford Mathematics Public Lectures - Euler’s pioneering equation: "the most beautiful theorem in mathematics" - Robin Wilson

Euler’s equation, the ‘most beautiful equation in mathematics’, startlingly connects the five most important constants in the subject: 1, 0, π, e and i. Central to both mathematics and physics. So what is this equation – and why is it pioneering?

Can Yule Solve My Problems? - Alex Bellos

In our Oxford Mathematics Christmas Lecture Alex Bellos challenges you with some festive brainteasers as he tells the story of mathematical puzzles from the middle ages to modern day.

Closing the Gap: the quest to understand prime numbers - Vicky Neale

Prime numbers have intrigued, inspired and infuriated mathematicians for millennia and yet mathematicians' difficulty with answering simple questions about them reveals their depth and subtlety.

Dr Tom Crawford, mathematician and presenter (St John's College, 2008)

Dr Tom Crawford, also known as the Naked Mathematician, shares his love of Maths and describes how he is dispelling stereotypes to explain Maths to teenagers.

The Sound of Symmetry - Marcus du Sautoy

Symmetry has played a role both for composers and in the creation of musical instruments.

The Butterfly Effect - What Does it Really Signify? - Tim Palmer

Tim Palmer discusses Ed Lorenz the man and his work, and compares and contrasts the meaning of the 'Butterfly Effect' as most people understand it today, and as Lorenz himself intended it to mean.
