For Students

First Friday @11 is here! These sessions are likely to be most relevant for first year undergraduates, but all are welcome!

A course on Singular Learning Theory, exploring its applications in machine learning and mathematical AI alignment.

The course covers the mathematical foundations of SLT and touches on recent developments in how its tools are used in alignment research. The core focus is the role of degeneracies and singularities in governing the behaviour and training dynamics of neural networks. By the end of the course you will be familiar with:

Join us at the University of Oxford for a CS50x Puzzle Day in collaboration with Oxford Lifelong Learning, with Professor David J. Malan from Harvard, Professor Daniel Wilson from Oxford, Dr Nicholas Day from Oxford, and Dr Tom Crawford from Oxford (and Cambridge and Tom Rocks Maths).

The serendipity of mathematics. Here's Ramón.

Nick and Rosie discussed how getting stuck on a problem is an inevitable part of being a mathematician.

Would you like to have a say in how the University supports student welfare and mental health?

Join the Student Welfare Engagement Network run by Student Welfare & Support Services and help shape Oxford’s approach to student welfare.

We are looking for a student volunteer to join the OMMS Supervisory Committee.

 The OMMS Supervisory Committee is responsible for overseeing the course and meets termly at 11am on Tuesdays of week 4. In addition to the Course Director and members of faculty in Mathematics and Statistics, the committee consists of two student representatives: one OMMS student and one fourth-year MURC representative.

Fancy a little taste of Spain? 

Visit Café π on Tuesday 27 October, from 12–2pm, for a delicious tapas pop-up!

 On the menu:

• Crispy chorizo
• Croquettes
• Paella and more!

And to finish? Churros and alcohol-free sangria!

We’re looking forward to seeing you all! Room L1, Friday 2pm. 

This week topic is Making the most of intercollegiate classes.

We value your insights and invite you to share how your lecture courses are going so far! This is a chance to let us know what's working well and what could be improved, now that you have attended a few of your courses' lectures, and we can then enact any changes required whilst term is still ongoing.
