Maths Week Ireland 2024 in Derry. Thanks to St Columb’s College and Lumen Christi College for hosting - it was great to meet so many future mathematicians! Hopefully I’ll see you again in Oxford/Cambridge :)

If you’d like me to teach you some of the maths I do with my undergraduate students ‪@oxforduniversity‬ then the “Intermediate Linear Algebra” course ‪@oudce‬ might be perfect for you! We’ll be covering the core topics from university level algebra, including Vector Spaces, Linear Transformations and the Rank-Nullity Theorem, and if you pass the final exam you’ll receive digital certification from the University of Oxford. Lessons start on January 23rd and run online for 1-hour each week until March 27th. Full information at the link above.

Probably the most unique place I’ve spent the day talking about maths… thanks to Thorpe Park for inviting me as part of STEAM day 2024. I’ve been so busy I’ve almost run out of Pokémon stickers!! Now to go enjoy the rides :)

Amazing to be back at New Scientist Live for the 5th (!!) time to talk about how the tools of mathematical modelling can be applied to anything - and yes, that does include Pokémon! I picked some of my favourite examples to share, but remember, you too can apply your maths skills to the Pokédex to see what you can discover about YOUR favourite Pokémon…

It was really interesting to chat with San Qing on The Way Podcast about how we find meaning in the world. We offer two very different, and often contrasting perspectives, but the conversation was always welcoming and curiosity-driven. Watch/listen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IThe...

I'm always keen to chat tattoos - especially my mathematical ones - so it was a lot of fun talking to journalist Ben Skuse during the 11th Heidelberg Laureate Forum. Discover which maths-themed tattoo is my favourite, and how my ink has influenced my career in academia...

If you're as excited about Nobel Prize week as I am, but are longing for more Maths and CS, then look no further than the 'Sparks Sessions' ‪@LaureateForum‬. Watch for 90-minutes of advice, insights, and ideas from 5 Laureates, introduced by yours truly... (and yes that is Leslie Lamport of LaTeX fame).
