You'd think all Olympic athletics tracks would be the same. And even if they aren't, as long as they are 400 metres, it won't affect the results. But you'd be wrong on both counts. Amandine Aftalion @Videodimath explains. @CNRS @UnivParisSaclay
The autumn sun has collapsed across the Oxford horizon and friends are gathered to abandon thoughts of the working day. But one of them is a mathematician.
The nights in Oxford are drawing in & so are our students, drawing in from all corners of the globe for another term of exploration, mathematical & personal. Groups & Group Actions is one course they'll study later this year. Here's Group Homomorphisms: youtu.be/3nMTZm7VAOk
That sinking feeling. In our latest foray into the mathematics of the kitchen, Sam Howison is chained to the kitchen sink. Quite right. Only another 170 or so episodes to go.
What's it like round here? What are the people like? What do they do when they are not doing maths? Do they have fun? Films about people who also do maths. @JoshuaABull
Probability can be counterintuitive. Or, to put it another way, plain baffling. But there's always an explanation. Becky Crossley picks her favourite example. And tries to draw a goat. Watch the full video (with extra maths): youtu.be/zf17UgsFYCw
Oxford, 6th May 1954, Roger Bannister becomes the first man to run a mile in under four minutes. But what is the mathematics behind such feats? Oxford, 25th September 2025, Amandine Aftalion will tell us. Full information including online details: maths.ox.ac.uk/node/72944
What did you have for breakfast this morning? A couple of slices of toast perhaps? Great, but a little more burnt than you wanted? It often happens, doesn't it. Blame maths. Sam Howison sets off the smoke alarm.
Quantum is a foreign country; they do things differently there. Mathematical and Theoretical Physics master's student Anjali Waghmare is our quantum go-between.
It's a little-known fact that Fibonacci was a keen marathon runner. Okay, he wasn't but he could be an invaluable help if you are a keen marathon runner. @JoshuaABull is very keen.
Job done. Fifty minutes of writing and explaining primary decomposition. One of two lectures we're showing from Dawid Kielak's third year Commutative Algebra course. As satisfying as September sun. Watch: youtu.be/fmZWvBGOalk
Amazing what you can do with some wood, some glue and some mathematics. André Henriques introduces his self-made contact structure.
1 + 1 = 2 Counting. But where did it all begin? The first in a new series on the equations of mathematical life. Episode 1: starring negative numbers, zero, fractions and rational, irrational and real numbers. And 1 + 1 = 2. And Robin Wilson. youtu.be/3lTPSjaANrs
Buckling. Sounds ominous, doesn't it? Think bridges. But buckling can be a positive force and is common in nature. @msunesim's research may enable us to use it in many more applications. Case study and full video: maths.ox.ac.uk/node/72526
'It's not maths, it's physics!' 'It's not maths, it's chemistry!' 'It's not maths, it's common sense!' A mathematician makes a salad dressing. Discover the missing ingredient in the full film: youtube.com/shorts/gtM1Yix…
We put our student lectures on YouTube to give a flavour of mathematical life. There are full lecture courses there, but mainly it's self-contained samples of the infinite variety of the subject. A kind of lucky - or unlucky - dip. Algebraic Curves 4: youtu.be/mZaGmLhgnXg
Often our moments of inspiration are about place, where we had the inspiration, as much as the inspiration itself. Stéphanie Abo on the moment her mathematical life took flight. Where were you?
One day we sidled up to one of our colleagues and gently asked how they used maths in their everyday life. To which they laughingly replied: "The last thing I want to think about in the kitchen is maths". Ah, but mathematics wants to think about you.
