Emmy Noether was a major figure in 20th century mathematics. But the challenges in her life were not only mathematical. In this acclaimed student production, her life is revisited in Emmy and her contemporaries' own words. Watch 'Noether' from 5 p.m today: youtu.be/4oMuV9XW-CQ

A leopard may not be able to change its spots, but a mathematician can.

Come and work with Wallis Professor Max Gubinelli and the team as they carry out large-scale research into stochastic analysis of Euclidean quantum field theories and related fields. www.maths.ox.ac.uk/node/81768

The Mathematical Logic group is an integral part of our mathematical life in Oxford. Its main focus is on model theory and we are looking for a two-year postdoc to join us in our research, working independently, part of the group, and with the wider research community: www.maths.ox.ac.uk/node/81749

If you are in Oxford, walk across to Port Meadow, open grassland unploughed for 4000 years where cows cool their cloven hooves in the River Thames (known as the Isis in Oxford) and people wild swim alongside swans and geese. Idyllic. But we're mathematicians, so we have a question.

Oxford Mathematician @joshuabull.bsky.social is in big trouble. He failed to heed the most important warning on social media for a mathematician: Don't try to be funny.

No, not the mathematical hand of God, but Derek Moulton providing some graphic detail in his 1st year Dynamics lectures. Lectures 7 & 8, covering motion in higher dimensions before moving on to angular momentum and constrained systems, are now free to air: youtu.be/TX5vb-BpvBs

Algebra spoken in six different languages and a mathematical sing-along in a language spoken by over a billion people. The latest from the Tower of Babel.

Oxford Mathematicians Martin Bridson and Yuji Nakatsukasa have been recognised in this year's @londmathsoc.bsky.social (LMS) awards. Martin (left) wins the Polya Prize while Yuji has been awarded the Whitehead Prize. More about Martin and Yuji: www.maths.ox.ac.uk/node/81707

He's back. Our number 1 influencer. And he's not holding back. From chasing a ball, to insect flight, control theory and unpredictable stock markets, all in two minutes. Also featuring Sam Howison.

James Maynard has been appointed new Regius Professor of Mathematics in Oxford. One of the outstanding talents in mathematics today, James is currently Professor of Number Theory in Oxford. He will succeed Andrew Wiles, our inaugural Regius Professor. www.maths.ox.ac.uk/node/81648

If you want more Dynamics lectures - and who doesn't - Derek Moulton is our action man as he moves from linear stability to coupled oscillators. First year undergraduate course, lectures 5 & 6: youtu.be/GOFH423fqv8

'Prime number', spoken in nine different tongues, kicks off the latest episode of 'the Tower of Babel'. It's followed by Luci Bonatto discussing her mathematical upbringing in Brazil and its influence on how she thinks and teaches in Oxford.

Listing awards can feel self-congratulatory but it gives us an excuse to showcase our people. The excellent Patrick Farrell has won SIAM's Germund Dahlquist Prize: www.maths.ox.ac.uk/node/81664 PS: didn't someone say all awards are rubbish but that didn't mean they wanted to win them any the less?

If you're being drained by a heatwave, you may not feel very dynamic. But Derek Moulton is always dynamic & in lectures 3 & 4 from his first year Dynamics course he's all over 1D energy landscapes & linear stability. We'll show the full course in coming weeks. Stay cool. Watch: youtu.be/oOZ-I9OBv9g

Oxford term is over and panting summer is here. So what have the guys learnt? And which mathematician gets a special shout-out?

Oxford Mathematicians Ben Green (left) and Alex Scott awarded European Research Coucil (@erc.europa.eu) Advanced Grants. The grants are one of the most prestigious research awards in the world, providing long-term funding to leading scientists and scholars. Read more: www.maths.ox.ac.uk/node/81590

One day I saw one cow dressed in a uniform. A vital piece of mathematical learning. Depending where you live, that is. The Tower of Babel - Episode 4

It's the question we always get asked. Why do your lecturers write on whiteboards when the unparalleled joys of PowerPoint et al are available? Here's Derek Moulton's take. Talking of Derek, we're showing his full 1st year Dynamics course, starting here: youtu.be/uyhm8chmf6E

In 2022 Fantasy Premier League winner @joshuabull.bsky.social made his World Cup predictions. They were okay, but no cigar. However, in the intervening four years he has really honed his mathematical skills. Now he is 100% confident he's found the secret sauce.

Oxford Mathematician and Wallis Professor Max Gubinelli has been awarded the 2026 XL Medal for Mathematics by Accademia Nazionale Delle Scienze, Italy's National Academy of Science. John Wallis was Savilian Professor of Geometry at Oxford from 1649 to 1703. www.maths.ox.ac.uk/node/81469

That Robin Wilson, he doesn't half go on. To infinity in fact, the topic of Robin's eighteenth and final talk on the equations that made mathematics. With an irritating little paradox to whet your appetite below. Watch the full talk: youtu.be/FldD3v2zTMM

Three years researching and teaching as part of the Mathematical and Computational Finance Research Group. And you get to walk across the wonder that is the Penrose tiling (pictured) every morning. Details: www.maths.ox.ac.uk/node/81491

The World Cup is almost here and everyone has an opinion about likely winners. But being mathematicians, we have insisted on looking at the data, and we think we have found the secret to predicting results. @joshuabull.bsky.social is our analyst in the studio.

Our latest position. Three years to explore the mathematical theory of complex systems as part of the Mathematical Physics group and in collaboration with the many other groups and colleagues across Oxford Mathematics. Details: www.maths.ox.ac.uk/node/81487

Fractals. Ah yes, the darlings of artists, computers and snowflakes (no, not that sort). Robin Wilson is our artist-in-residence as he takes us on a short tour of fractal history. Including, er, an alpenhorn player? Watch Robin's talk: youtu.be/4esOvq4o9RA

The Tower of Babel (Andrew Wiles Building, Oxford Mathematics branch) is a huge edifice crossing countries and continents. The Tower of Babel - Episode 3

Counting the enemy, consulting the almanac and imagining a dagger. Paul Glendinning applies a mathematician's lens to the world which Shakespeare created. We are such stuff as mathematical dreams are made on. Watch now: youtu.be/iMHvwhXFrNQ

Mathematics the mind reader. How much monetary pain would you take to deny someone else monetary gain? @marcusdusautoy.bsky.social issues an ultimatum.
