Mathematrix is a student-led group in the Mathematical Institute where postgraduates and postdocs discuss and explore topics related to challenges in academic life and being a minority in the maths community. Below are details of the Welcome Lunch and the term card for the Michaelmas term.

Those of you who were here last academeic year may remember us hosting Noether, a play about the mathematician Emmy Noether from Oxford student theatre company Cartesian Productions. Such was it success, it has been touring universities across the country and returns to the Andrew Wiles Building for its final show on 17th October.  

Ramón has just left us for a postdoctoral position in Cambridge (it happens occasionally), but before he departed he discussed his research into using random walks to understand physical systems.

The LMS' Emmy Noether Fellowships and Grace Chisholm Young Fellowship are now open for applications. The Emmy Noether Fellowships offer grants of between £2,000 and £10,000 per applicant to enhance the mathematical sciences research of holders either re-establishing their research programme after returning from a major break associated with caring responsibilities or requiring support to maintain their research programme while dealing with significant ongoing caring responsibilities.
