That sinking feeling.

In our latest foray into the mathematics of the kitchen, Sam Howison is chained to the kitchen sink. Quite right.

Only another 170 or so episodes to go.
Well flip it up, baby, now 🫱🪞🫲

This Tuesday 16 September, I will give my first Gresham Lecture of the year in London. The theme this year is the Geometry of Nature. I will start with one of my favourite subjects: Chirality. If interested, you can join in person or online www.gresham.ac.uk/speakers/pro...

This is a very nice paper that answers a simple question that we have been pondering for years: Can you represent the dynamics in regions connected by pipes by a much simpler network? Very important for toxic proteins in the brain.
The answer is yes, but you have to do it properly.

When we talk about mathematicians, we often try to show what they looked like.

Here is a short list of famous mathematicians/scientists with no known portrait (AFAIK):

Pythagoras (c. 570–495 BCE)
Zeno of Elea (c. 490–430 BCE)
Al-Khwarizmi (c. 780–850)
Nicole Oresme (c. 1320–1382)

Couldn’t be more deserved, Alain! 🌱🐘🧠🐚
Oxford Mathematician @alaingoriely.bsky.social awarded the 2025 LMS/IMA David Crighton Medal for his deep and influential insights into mechanical and biological processes, support of early career mathematicians, and commitment to the public understanding of maths.

Concurrent 2: Computational modeling of plant development and adaptation, with Adrien Oliveri @hadrienoliveri.bsky.social presenting his fantastic work on the formalisation of photropism and gravitropism

Then we need to define the term naive. Naive reasoning may not show that gravity yields ellipses, but few would call them emergent—they're direct closed-form solutions. Turing patterns, though also analytically derived, are typically seen as emergent due to their unexpected, self-organizing nature.

In the second lecture we're showing from his History of Mathematics student course, Chris Hollings takes us into 19th century algebra when, instead of thinking about how to solve equations, people were beginning to ask which equations can be solved at all.

Whatever you do, do try this at home.

Sam Howison has been rummaging around the kitchen cupboards.

You've got friends round for coffee and cake. There are seven of you. Trouble is, you've made a square cake. How do you make sure everyone receives an equal share?

Dominic has his cake and they all eat it.

Say hello to soft cells.

Nature hates sharp corners. It prefers curved edges and non-flat faces. Now mathematicians have cottoned on.

Watch Gábor Domokos' brilliant public lecture on the soft cell. Tomorrow, Thursday 22 May, 5pm and any time after: youtu.be/e7b5pAudnKs

In this endearing 1923 caricature by his mother, 11-year-old Alan Turing gazes at daisies instead of playing hockey. Decades later, he’d explore phyllotaxis—the spiral patterns in plants—using a 'digital computer', in one of his final works, cut short by his untimely death in 1954.

Gábor Domokos is best known for the Gömböc. But he hasn't been resting on his mono-monostatic laurels. Together with colleagues including @alaingoriely.bsky.social he has discovered soft cells, nature's mathematics lesson.

Public lecture, Wed 30 April, 5pm.
