Part B and C Options Fair - next week!

Options Fair

We will be hosting the Part B and C Options Fair next Friday, 22nd May. This is a chance for current Part A and B students to learn more about the module options available to them in their next year of study.

The schedule is as follows: 

End of term questionnaires - win a £40 Amazon Voucher!

As the end of lectures this term approaches, we would like to request your feedback on the lectures you have attended this term. This is a chance to give us detailed feedback on what has worked well, what could be improved, and what your experience has been like for each individual course.

JPMorgan events at the Maths Institute

Sophie Germain's 250th Birthday

Sophie GermainIf you weren't able to make it to the event in London for Sophie Germain's 250th birthday, the videos from the event are now available online! 

Short Stories 2

Turns out Prof. Marcus du Sautoy is more of a Mr. Don't Know It All. 

Short Stories 1

All over the globe, and maybe somewhere out in space, students are revising - or maybe in a few cases 'vising'. Hear from some of your peers about how they're going about it.

Spoiler alert: this remains an open problem.

Week 3 Student Bulletin

Geometry and excluded-volume effects in particle systems

Maria Bruna
(Oxford University)
Abstract

I will discuss stochastic systems of interacting particles with non-overlapping constraints, which give rise to so-called excluded-volume interactions. The aim is to derive effective macroscopic equations governing the evolution of particle densities from the underlying microscopic dynamics. When particles possess nontrivial size or shape, geometric constraints become essential: they complicate the coarse-graining process and strongly influence the emergent behaviour of the system. I will present two representative examples, hard spheres and infinitely thin needles, highlighting how geometry enters the macroscopic description
