For Students

Next week's Fridays@2 session highlights Women in Maths: Past, Present and Future!

Join the Mirzakhani Society to learn and celebrate the amazing work of female mathematicians, and hear more about the upcoming Women in Maths conference!

Maybe you've got an idea for a short, or want to be featured over the coming year! 

We know you missed these shorts over the vac, so find all of the latest shorts online: Oxford Mathematics - YouTube

You know those annoying social media films where a mic is shoved in front of a bunch of students and they're asked questions that have nothing to do with their studies or their lives, hoping they say something vaguely funny or interesting that might get a billion views on TikTok?

It's tough, isn't? Probably one of the biggest challenges for mathematicians of all ages. Just how do you talk about your subject to friends and family who aren't mathematical? Our crack team of undergraduates ponder.

The beginning of term also marks the start of a new series of Fridays@2/11 initiatives! 

The first Fridays@2 session is one not to be missed, taking place at 2pm on Friday 23rd January in L1. 

Look out for the posters around the Maths Institute for details on the sessions taking place this term. 

Nightline is an independent listening, support, and information service run for students, by students.

This year, the MI is trialling a new undergraduate Directed Reading Programme (DRP). The DRP will allow Part A & Part B students guided access to scholarship outside the taught curriculum, with Postdoctoral Fellows and DPhil students acting as mentors. 

The proposals for the Directed Reading Programme are now available on the Maths website:

After the success of "Fermat’s Last Tango - the musical" a few years ago, we (Mario and Radek) are currently in the process of writing a new maths musical: Galois Last Duel and we would love you to be involved!
