If you haven't been watching our mathematicians playing with their toys on social media, you can now watch the first compilation via YouTube. The films seemed to have worked well, not least because they strike a balance between entertainment and education which can sound patronising, but which is where social media can work.
To prospective PhD students:
Are you ready to push the boundaries of research, as a part of a dynamic and world-renowned group dedicated to harnessing the power of Machine Learning to tackle real-world challenges?
The van der Schaar Lab is currently actively seeking 5 exceptional PhD students, with a keen interest in the following areas:
If you ever want to get a mathematician's attention, however busy they are, check if they have some mathematical toys lurking on their shelf, glance that way and they are all yours. In the first episode of Toy Stories:
Jon Chapman and Sam Howison - You spin me right round
Sam Howison - Singing bowl
Ian Griffiths - Going back with the flow
MIRZAKHANI SOCIETY
Hello all, we are the Mirzakhani Society, a group for all the women and non-binary mathematicians at Oxford. We run lots and lots of relaxed events from pizza nights to career conferences. Our main aim is to create a warm and welcoming environment for women* to come together and chat about life, maths and anything in-between.
