Oxford Mathematics Public Lectures: How to Make the World Add Up - Tim Harford

You have to sympathise with statistics. Misunderstood and misused when all they want to do is accumulate. What they need is a little human understanding. Tim Harford's Oxford Mathematics Public Lecture does just that.

Oxford Mathematics Public Lecture: Can maths tell us how to win at Fantasy Football? - Joshua Bull

Oxford Mathematician Josh Bull won the 2019-2020 Premier League Fantasy Football competition from nearly 8 million entrants. So how did he do it? Did he by any chance use mathematics?

Oxford Mathematics Public Lecture: Squirrels, Turing and Excitability - Mathematical Modelling in Biology, Ecology and Medicine

The Grey Squirrel invasion explaining tumour cell proliferation? Alan Turing explaining football shirt patterns? The close relationship between slugs and the human heart? What is the common link? Mathematics of course. And Philip Maini.

Oxford Mathematics 2nd Year Student Lecture - Number Theory: Primitive Roots

In this, the second online lecture we are making widely available, Ben Green introduces and delivers a short lecture on Primitive Roots, part of the Number Theory Lecture course for Second Year Undergraduates.

Oxford Mathematics 2nd Year Student Lecture - Graph Theory: Shortest Paths

Oxford has gone online for lockdown. So how do our student lectures look? Let Marc Lackenby show you as he looks at paths between vertices in a graph with a view to finding the shortest route between any two vertices. Works for your Satnav for example.

Smartphones v COVID 19

Smartphones will help save lives. Smartphones' value is exaggerated. What is the reality? And, as ever, what is the Maths behind it all? Leading Network Scientist Renaud Lambiotte downloads the facts in this Oxford Mathematics Public Lecture.

Oxford Mathematics 2nd Year Student Lecture - Differential Equations 2

Oxford Mathematician Peter Howell starts the second part of the 2nd year Differential Equations course which focuses on boundary problems.

Oxford Mathematics Public Lecture: Alan Champneys - Why pedestrian bridges wobble: Synchronisation and the wisdom of the crowd

So much noise, so many opinions. Perhaps time for Occam's Razor to start its scientific shaving?

Oxford Mathematics 3rd Year Student Lecture - Mathematical Models of Financial Derivatives

Our latest student lecture features the first lecture in the third year course on Mathematical Models of Financial Derivatives from Sam Cohen where we hear that the role of derivatives is not to make money but to avoid being exploited.

Oxford Mathematics 1st Year Student Lecture - Linear Algebra II

Our latest student lecture features the first lecture in the second term introductory course on Linear Algebra from leading Oxford Mathematician James Maynard.

Oxford Mathematics Public Lecture: Ian Griffiths - Cheerios, iPhones and Dysons: going backwards in time with fluid mechanics

How do you make a star-shaped Cheerio? How do they make the glass on your smartphone screen so flat? And how can you make a vacuum filter that removes the most dust before it blocks?

Oxford Mathematics Public Lectures - Carlo Rovelli - Spin networks: the quantum structure of spacetime from Penrose's intuition to Loop Quantum Gravity

Carlo Rovelli delivers The Roger Penrose Lecture on the Quantum structure of Spacetime.

Oxford Mathematics Christmas Public Lecture: Chris Budd - Why does Rudolf have a shiny nose?

From the unfairness of voting on TV shows to how Santa gets down so many narrow chimneys. Chris Budd take a mathematical look at the traditions of Christmas.

Jon Chapman - Waves and resonance: from musical instruments to vacuum cleaners, via metamaterials and invisibility cloaks

Via guitars, clarinets and a musical saw to the noise reduction in a vaccum cleaner, Jon Chapman explains the role of waves in the sounds we hear and don't hear.

Oxford Mathematics 2nd Year Student Lecture - Quantum Theory

Our latest student lecture is the first in the Quantum Theory course for second year students. Fernando Alday reflects on the breakdown of the deterministic world and describes some of the experiments that defined the new Quantum Reality.

Oxford Mathematics London Public Lecture: Timothy Gowers - Productive generalization: one reason we will never run out of interesting mathematical questions

In our Oxford Mathematics London Public Lecture Tim Gowers uses the principle of generalization to show how mathematics progresses in its relentless pursuit of problems.

Oxford Mathematics Newcastle Public Lecture: Vicky Neale - in Maths

Mathematics has no place for emotion, its practitioners are positively unemotional. True? Well, no. In fact 10 out of 10 untrue. Mathematics and mathematicians are also on the emotional rollercoaster. Vicky Neale is one of them.

Oxford Mathematics 2nd Year Student Lecture - Differential Equations 1

We continue with our series of Student Lectures with this first lecture in the 2nd year Course on Differential Equations.

Oxford Mathematics 1st year Student Lecture - Introductory Calculus

In our latest student lecture we would like to give you a taste of the Oxford Mathematics Student experience as it begins in its very first week.

Oxford Mathematics Public Lectures: David Sumpter - Soccermatics: could a Premier League team one day be managed by a mathematician?

What do you need to win the Premier League? Money? Sure. Good players? Yup. A great manager? It helps. Mathematics? Really? 100%.
