As you know we film plenty of student lectures and they are very popular on YouTube. But one think crops up again and again. Or rather doesn't crop up enough: working board pens. So we made a little compilation with the caption:
"What do you need to give a good student maths lecture? Knowledge of the subject? Good delivery? Interaction with the audience? Nah, none of those..."
Let's just say a lot of social media viewers didn't get it.

Our science, art and technology festival IF Oxford returns this autumn with an incredible range of exciting events and activities for everyone to connect with science and ideas up close. Most events at the Festival require pre-booking and use Pay What You Decide (PWYD) ticketing. The Festival runs throughout October and November at different venues across the city.
We show that linear reflection groups in the sense of Vinberg are often Zariski dense in PGL(n). Among the applications are examples of low-dimensional closed hyperbolic manifolds whose fundamental groups virtually embed as Zariski-dense subgroups of SL(n,Z), as well as some one-ended Zariski-dense subgroups of SL(n,Z) that are finitely generated but infinitely presented, for all sufficiently large n. This is joint work with Jacques Audibert, Gye-Seon Lee, and Ludovic Marquis.
