The Oxford Maths Festival, 11-12 May, is now sold out on the 12th (when it is taking place in the MI), but if you want a ticket please email Zoe (@email) and she will oblige.
Thank you to everyone who came to our events last term, in particular to those of you who came to our inaugural joint conference with the Mirzakhani Society . We're excited to bring you another full schedule of events for Trinity! See our website for more details of what Mathematrix is and to see our current term card.
This term events will be on Mondays of odd weeks from 1-2pm in N3.12.
James Taylor (Mathematical Institute) - D-Modules and p-adic Representations
Anthony Webster (Department of Statistics) - An Introduction to Epidemiology and Causal Inference
L1, 4pm. Abstracts.
Professor Rebecca Willett (University of Chicago) - The role of depth in neural networks: function space geometry and learnability
Rebecca Willett is a Professor of Statistics and Computer Science & the Faculty Director of AI at the Data Science Institute at Chicago. Her research is focused on machine learning foundations, scientific machine learning, and signal processing.
National PDE Network Meeting: Nonlinear PDEs of Mixed Type in Geometry and Mechanics /Joint with the 13th Oxbridge PDE Conference
Theme: Analysis of nonlinear PDEs of mixed-type (esp. elliptic-hyperbolic and hyperbolic-parabolic mixed PDEs) and related topics
Time & place: 18-22 March 2024 at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford
On Saturday 17th February, the Mathematrix and Mirzakhani societies held their inaugural joint conference. There were over 100 attendees from across the UK. The theme of the day was ‘Beyond the Pipeline’ and focused on the issues behind the metaphor of the leaky pipeline and the ways that we can prevent women and other gender minorities from leaving mathematics.
Sarah Livermore (Department for Business and Trade)
Sarah Livermore has worked in the Civil Service for over 10 years, using the maths skills gained in her physics degrees (MPhys, DPhil) whilst studying at Oxford. In this session she’ll discuss some of the roles available to people with a STEM background in the Civil Service, a ‘day in the life’ of a civil servant, typical career paths and how to apply.
