I keep coming back to this, wish I had appreciated the beauty of maths when I was younger!
What was that one about the boring taxi driver number too? Love that one also! Thanks!

Maths in a minute

Want facts and want them fast? Our Maths in a minute series explores key mathematical concepts in just a few words.

Happy Women in Maths Day!

We celebrate Women in Mathematics Day with a look at three amazing women from the history of mathematics.
Heads, Bayes wins!

If you've flipped heads 10 times what's the next flip most likely to be? Bayes' theorem has the answer, not just for the coin, but for the pursuit of science generally.
Tails, Bayes loses (and invents data assimilation in the process)

Trying to make a prediction about the world based on dodgy data? Then data assimilation has the answer!
String theory: A promise from physics

Mathematics is an indispensable tool in physics, but can physics solve problem in maths? Find out more in this article.
String theory: Convincing mathematics

Find out how a theory from physics has provided tools for solving long-standing problems in number theory. And in turn how number theory helps solve the mystery of black holes.
