Events in the Department

Meet and Greet Event - Fri, 14 Oct 2022, L1

Amy Kent and Ellen Luckins

Welcome (back) to Fridays@4! To start the new academic year, in this session we’ll introduce what Fridays@4 is for our new students and colleagues. This session will be a chance to meet current students and ECRs from across Maths and Stats who will share their hints and tips on conducting successful research in Oxford. There will be lots of time for questions, discussions and generally meeting more people across the two departments – everyone is welcome!

Mathematrix is back after a year long sabbatical. For those relatively new to the department, Mathematrix is the Mathematical Institute’s group for minorities in mathematics. We host various discussion groups and socials throughout the year to help tackle some of the issues faced by minorities in maths, and to bring people together in a welcoming and friendly environment. Our events are open to all Master's and DPhil Students, as well as Postdocs. 

Come along and enjoy cake and coffee (or tea) and make a donation to a good cause.

Wednesday 28th September, 11 am, Common Room. 

The Exhibition, featuring nearly 40 of Conrad's work produced over the last 17 years officially opens on Wednesday 28th September and is, of course open to the public. For those people wishing to see the works that are behind the card access areas we (well, Dyrol once has done his art homework) will arrange tours so by all means put people in touch.

Thanks to all of you for your positive comments. We are delighted to be hosting the exhibition. The work below, under the North Mezzanine crystal, is entitled 'off cut axiom'.

"There are still lots of things that actually need to be done."

The sweetest music for aspiring mathematicians & the conclusion of Martin Hairer's public lecture on trying to understand how the laws of nature change.

If you missed the lecture last week here it is.

A mathematical journey through scales - Martin Hairer

The tiny world of particles and atoms and the gigantic world of the entire universe are separated by about forty orders of magnitude. As we move from one to the other, the laws of nature can behave in drastically different ways, sometimes obeying quantum physics, general relativity, or Newton’s classical mechanics, not to mention other intermediate theories.

Mathematrix is relaunching for next academic year with a FREE PIZZA lunch, open to all!

When: Friday 1st July, 12.30pm.

What: informal pizza lunch with 5 minute intro to Mathematrix

Who: postgrads, postdocs, and staff are all welcome.

Where: Quillen Room, N3.12

The Oxford Mathematics SIAM-IMA Student Chapter 3 Minute Thesis Competition took place a couple of weeks ago in L1. Four years work in one slide and three minutes. Easy-peasy.
