The history of graph (network) theory (GNT) started with an attempt to find a single walking path, which crosses, once and only once, each of the seven bridges of old Königsberg - known as the Seven Bridges...
This lecture by Professor Raymond Flood explores the legacies of William Rowan Hamilton (1805-1865) and George Boole (1815-1864). Hamilton discovered quaternions, a non-commutative algebraic system, and did...
The central figure of 19th-century computing was Charles Babbage (1791-1871), who may be said to have pioneered the modern computer age with his ‘difference engines’ and his ‘analytical engine’,...
Martin Bridson, Head of the Oxford University Mathematical Institute, explains why an understanding of possible dimensions is impossible beyond the third dimension. When describing the symmetries of any...
Judith Grabiner describes how the 19th century saw radical change, producing new ideas of space, destroying the unchallenging authority of mathematics, revolutionising art, making relativity possible and...
A recording of the first live tour of the Festival of The Spoken Nerd, a show by scientists turn comedians Matt Parker, Helen Arney and Steve Mould. The show explains and demonstrates scientific and...
Gabriel Bellman examines the life of his grandfather Richard Bellman, a mathematician who invented dynamic programming. In the process, the filmmaker attempts to solve one of his subject’s most difficult...
Maths lecture on the subject of hypercomplex numbers presented by Sky Brewer at the University of York.
This film introduces the (so-called) ‘two worlds’ aspect of the theory of forms, and the mathematical route to understanding the forms; it considers in what way democracy may be said to be irrational; it...
