Hi Mathematical Institute colleagues!

I am Tim LaRock, a postdoctoral researcher here in maths, as well as the representative for the MI to the Oxford branch of the University and College Union (UCU), the trade union that represents academic workers across the UK. I also serve as the co-Secretary for Membership and Recruitment on our local committee.

In 2010 it was Paul the Octopus. But in 2022 it's Josh the Mathematician.

Watch Oxford Mathematics' Joshua Bull, winner of 2020 Fantasy Football from eight million entries you may remember, make his World Cup predictions via the video below and keep an eye on our social media for regular predictions of games starting with Monday's match up between England and Iran.

The mid-term elections in the USA might be close, but the vote for the Oxford Mathematics Christmas Party certainly wasn't.

On Wednesday over 5000 applicants took the Mathematics Admissions Test, the entrance test, as you know, used for undergraduate mathematics at Oxford, and other courses at Oxford and other universities. It's a two and a half hour exam. Here James Munro gives you all the answers in 10 minutes or less. Very popular on YouTube.
