The delivery of the 2023 Mathematics Admissions Test (MAT) has caused difficulty and distress for which we are very sorry. To give everyone a fair chance we are offering an additional test to candidates who feel they were affected. Full details on our website homepage (link in bio) or via this link: https://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/node/65971 We would like to thank everyone for their feedback which has been invaluable in helping us understand what happened and who was affected. #maths #math #MAT @oxford_uni

In our latest case study, Alexandru Pascadi (left) and Jared Duker Lichtman (right) are talking world records. 23% beyond the Riemann Hypothesis, to be precise. What can they mean? Read the case study via our case studies page (link in bio) or via the link below). The maths is tough, but it gives an insight in to the kind of thing these guys are doing in the land of prime numbers and beyond: https://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/node/65844 #maths #math #riemannhypothesis #primenumbers

It’s only a game... But what defines a game? Marcus du Sautoy has some suggestions in this clip from his Oxford Mathematics ‘Around the World in 80 Games’ Public Lecture. Watch the full lecture, 5-6pm, Tuesday 24 October & any time after via our YouTube Channel (link in bio) or via this link: https://youtu.be/8IvhWMJnEyg #maths #math #games @marcusdusautoy @oxford_uni

Last week aspiring mathematicians took the Oxford Mathematics undergraduate admissions test (MAT). Below, in the link, are the answers in 10 minutes. The image is a snippet from the test. We apologise for the difficulties accessing the test. Rest assured, all those issues will be taken in to full consideration.

So your boss tells you that you are getting a 3% pay cut this year, but don’t worry you’ll get a 3% pay rise next year. So back to square one at least? Or maybe not. James Munro is our smartie pants in our latest numeracy flick. #maths #math #numeracy @oxford_uni

Patterns are intrinsic to science and art. But sometimes they surprise as Marcus du Sautoy demonstrates in this extract from our recent ‘Patterns in Science and Art’ lecture in which artists Liliane Lijn and Conrad Shawcross, curator Fatos Ustek and Marcus himself discuss what pattern means to them in their life and work.

Physicists and chemists are used to dealing with quantum mechanics, but might biologists have to get in on the act? Watch Jim Al-Khalili's Oxford Mathematics Roger Penrose Public Lecture, 5pm, Oxford, Wednesday 25 October. Book via the Public Lectures section on our website homepage (link in bio) or via this link: https://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/node/65777 The lecture will be on our YouTube Channel three weeks later (link also in bio).

Five get to do maths. These Famous Five are our Martingale Scholars, fully-funded scholarships for UK postgraduate students. Rik, Joshua, Charlotte, Callum and Allan have just begun our Mathematical Sciences MSc. Find out more and apply by 25 October via our website homepage (link in bio) or via this link: https://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/node/65805 @wearemartingale #maths #math @conradshawcross @oxford_uni

For a subject based on order and logic, mathematics, like life, can seem chaotic, the famous ‘butterfly effect’ being a prime example. So what conclusions does David Sumpter draw from his study of that disorder? How do we navigate a random world? He has a suggestion.

9am today, Lecture Theatre 1, Andrew Wiles Building, home to Oxford Mathematics. The first day of term. Our new undergraduates wait for the first lecture of their first day. The topic? 'Probability'. Let their journey begin. Some lectures from the course will be on our YouTube Channel (link in bio) soon. Many other student lectures are already there. #maths #math #firstdayofterm @oxford_uni

You are at a concert and the audience are clapping at the end and you want to get away, only they won’t stop. What is going on? David Sumpter explains (mathematically) in this clip from his public lecture.

When football pundit Gary Neville told mathematician David Sumpter that he couldn’t use data to identify the player who motivates colleagues when their team goes a goal down, he responded. Statistically. Watch the full lecture online, Wed 4 October, 5pm on our YouTube Channel (link in bio) and any time after.
