The last 500 years of progress in maths will be reviewed, to see where it is going next and ask whether we are truly living in a mathematical Golden Age.
Government officials in the UK and the USA have struggled to find effective ways to regulate political spending on the internet. The question of appropriate regulation is challenging - both in practice and principle.
Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk (1932) was more a personal than a political drama. All was well for the first two years after the opera’s première in 1934, but shortly after Stalin went to a performance, it was vigorously condemned in the state press.
Mathematics education is changing rapidly and a big driver for this is the use of new technology. In this talk, we will look at the modern developments of computer based teaching and learning.
In this lecture, we will examine the phenomenon of computer vision, show how to build a computer vision system and discuss the expectations for the future.
This talk will show how mathematics has played a vital role in making navigation as accurate as it is today and the impact that this has had on us all.
Climate change is important, controversial, and the subject of huge debate. Much of our understanding of the future climate comes from the use of complex climate models based on mathematical and physical ideas.
This lecture will re-examine how the First World War ended, anticipating the centenary commemorations in 2018. It will discuss both why Germany requested a ceasefire, and why the Allies and America granted one.
