Three Oxford Mathematicians have won 2025 London Mathematical Society London Mathematical Society Prizes. Left to right, Nigel Hitchin wins the De Morgan Medal, Helen Byrne the Naylor Prize and Lectureship in Applied Mathematics and Vidit Nanda a Whitehead Prize. maths.ox.ac.uk/node/72373

Today, the Tour de France begins three gruelling weeks of sun, scenery & summits, but what's the key to winning in this elite world of small margins? How about appetite for risk? Ian Griffiths, Industrial Mathematics Group & Javi are leading the breakaway. Read more: maths.ox.ac.uk/node/72427 #TourDeFrance2025

You know the feeling. It's the end of the talk and it's Q & A time. Only the audience are restless and there's that looming existential danger. Not Q & A, but S & A. Statement and Answer. How do you liven things up?

We like a game of cricket in Oxford Mathematics. We even used to have a Pure v Applied annual game. Anyway, to the point. Cricket sees a bowler bouncing a ball at a batter. So you'd think the most famous cricket pitch in the world would be flat... Sam Howison is at the crease.

Okay guys, up for it? Three minutes max, one slide. The Oxford Mathematics SIAM-IMA 3 Minute Thesis Competition lifts the lid on our PhD students' research. So what are they up to? Watch: youtu.be/e1xo6qWTmoc

The 53rd card.

NGL, Jason Lotay is talking about Lie Groups in the latest student lecture we are making publicly available as we throw a little light on what it's like to study maths. Full lecture: youtu.be/z8oiwLvv8lE And 135 more student lectures: youtube.com/playlist?list=…

We wouldn't let it Lie. When making student lectures publicly available we like to predict (technical term for guess) which will do well. We'd be Lieing if we said we had Jason Lotay's Lie Groups lectures right up there. But they are. Lie Group G2: youtu.be/zROOqqJ8D5k

Mathematicians are all the same. They look the same. They only like other mathematicians. They only like maths. They did nothing but maths from the age of two. Etc.

Our much missed colleague Vicky Neale wanted to tell the world about maths. So who better for the second Vicky Neale Public Lecture than Simon Singh who has spent a career doing just that. Wednesday 6 August, 5pm. Online three weeks later. More info: maths.ox.ac.uk/node/72339

You're a 13 year old girl sitting in a maths class thinking 'what has this got to say about my life?' You get home & say the same to your family who get a bit twitchy because they think a bit of maths might be useful. Part 2 of our chat with students Ellie Guha & Sienna Jacobs.

Dominic Joyce is our Savilian Professor of Geometry, a post begun in 1619 & held by such as Halley & Wallis. Dominic also lectures on Algebraic Curves to our 3rd years. Here's lecture 1: youtu.be/lkZ_qtP-c9I Yes, the whiteboards need a clean. But they get so much hammer.

Remember all those kids who aced maths in school and went on to university to study, shock horror, maths? Well, no doubt they aced it there too because it was just more of the same. No doubt...

Many people don't understand mathematics. But mathematicians often don't understand mathematics either, at least not other fields. Our 3 Minute Thesis Competition. One slide, 3 minutes, your peers the audience. Here's a taster. Answer & full competition: youtu.be/e1xo6qWTmoc

When we put up Dominic Joyce's first lecture on projective curves, part of the Algebraic Curves course, someone asked for more pictures. Well, as they say, you can't make bricks without straw, but in lecture 2 Dominic gets artistic (sort of). Lecture 2: youtu.be/hUBMYzR4uis

Oxford Mathematician Alain Goriely awarded the 2025 LMS/IMA David Crighton Medal for his deep and influential insights into mechanical and biological processes, support of early career mathematicians, and commitment to the public understanding of maths. maths.ox.ac.uk/node/72714

Some things are so mundane and repetitive we don't think about them or, if we do, we think we know all about them. But behind the mundane there is often lurking some mathematics. Sam Howison is in full flow.

Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm 94? Happy Birthday Roger.
