Oxford Mathematics Public Lecture: Wednesday 11 March, 5 pm.
Computers have long been useful for studying mathematical problems. But recently computer techniques have been used to prove new theorems in geometry, specifically related to the study of gravity through Einstein's theory of General Relativity. This talk will describe these developments and what they might mean for the future.
Jason Lotay is Professor of Mathematics here in the Mathematical Institute.
Everyone is invited to join Mathematrix and the Mirzakhani Society for the launch party of the Oxford Women and Non-binary People in Mathematics Day (28 February). We’ll be in the South Mezzanine from 3 pm on Friday Jan 30 (following the official launch during Fridays@2) with coffee, tea, and sweet treats. Come along for a break and to learn all about OxWIM Day 2026.
Registrations for OxWIM Day is open. Find out more here.
Thursday 22 January 2026, 5.00-6.00 pm Andrew Wiles Building. Please email @email to register to attend in person.
Join us in N3.12 at 2:30 pm on Wednesday December 3rd for a chance to ask Mathematrix DPhil students anything you want about the experience of applying for a maths PhD. There will be sweet treats as always.
We are also looking for additional volunteers (outside of OCIAM and WCMB) to share their experiences of applying for a PhD in this session. If you are available and interested, please email @email by Monday 1st December.
