A main part of the proof uses forcing to establish a Ramsey theorem on a new type of tree, though the result holds in ZFC. The space of such trees almost forms a topological Ramsey space.
In this talk Michael Bonsall will explore how we can use mathematics to link between scales of organisation in biology. He will delve in to developmental biology, ecology and neurosciences, all illustrated and explored with real life examples, simple games and, of course, some neat maths.
Michael Bonsall is Professor of Mathematical Biology in Oxford.

Archimedes, who famously jumped out of his bath shouting "Eureka", also invented $\pi$.
Euler invented $e$ and had fun with his formula $e^{2\pi i} = 1$
The world is full of important numbers waiting to be invented. Why not have a go ?
Michael Atiyah is one of the world's foremost mathematicians and a pivotal figure in twentieth and twenty-first century mathematics. His lecture will be followed by an interview with Sir John Ball, Sedleian Professor of Natural Philosophy here in Oxford where Michael will talk about his lecture, his work and his life as a mathematician.

Oxford Mathematicians Stephen Haben and Peter Grindrod and colleagues have won an outstanding certificate as part of the new IIF Tao Hong Award for papers in energy forecasting published in the International Journal of Forecasting.
As part of our series of research articles deliberately focusing on the rigour and intricacies of mathematics, we look at Oxford Mathematician Minyhong Kim's research in to the relationship between number theory and topology. Minhyong Kim is Professor of Number Theory here in Oxford and Fellow of Merton College.
It is probably well-known that number theory is the source of some of the oldest and most accessible questions in mathematics:
The study of networks offers a fruitful approach to understanding human behaviour. Sanjeev Goyal is one of its pioneers. In this lecture Sanjeev presents a puzzle:
Congratulations to the Oxford Mathematicians who have just been awarded LMS prizes.
