PISA 2025 highlights strong UK maths performance, but reveals persistent inequalities in attainment and participation. What could this mean for maths education?

Martin Hairer Professor of Pure Mathematics at EPFL and Imperial College London There has been a lot of speculation regarding the “Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artifical Intelligence&#82…

Tensors are instrumental in physics, machine learning and even biology. Einstein once begged a friend to help him understand them, fearing he was going mad. Joseph Howlett explains how they work: https://t.co/OAkmeNPoEl

The proposed Leaving Certificate reforms are incredibly concerning

Nicola Trubridge, the NCETM’s Director for Secondary Mathematics, reflects on the latest PISA findings and what they might mean as the maths education community prepares for a new maths national curri...

Mathematicians found that a broad class of networks will abruptly shift behavior past a critical point.

The theoretical side of the field doesn’t require computing machines. But many questions would never have been posed without them.

Are you thinking of doing a Masters or PhD in maths or another STEM subject but are worried about funding? Then the Martingale Foundation might be for you. Find out more in this episode of Maths on…

We present a concise self-contained inversive geometry solution of the three-circle problem of Steiner of constructing a circle that intersects each of the three given circles at one of the three g...

The math, which combines chaos, quantum theory, and infinitely complex fractal structures, has been called a “foundational result.”

Getting a different picture of our planet.

AI's greatest mathematical successes have come from answers to problems posed by a mid-20th century iconoclast. By examining what makes the Erdős problems unique, mathematicians are trying to understand how AI might change the rest of math.

More than 11,000 people have signed a petition calling for a review of the exam saying it was "totally unrecognisable" from what they had prepared for.

This paper presents two, seemingly new, phenomena of Euclidean geometry. In the first part, we discuss two different proofs that the Miquel circles centre triangle has minimal area if, and only if,...

On Saturday 27 June 2026, volunteers from across the UK came together at the Crowne Plaza London Kings Cross to celebrate 30 years of dedication to the UK Maths Trust. The special event recognised the...

John Pardon sees connections between different areas of math that others don’t. For that vision, he’s now been awarded a Fields Medal.

Celebrating Alan Turing’s 1936 seminal paper ‘On computable numbers, with an application to the Entscheidungsproblem’

What do sound waves, snow flakes and spinning needles have in common? The answer is the mathematics of Hong Wang, who has just won a Fields Medal at the 2026 ICM.

John Pardon won a Fields Medal for work in geometry that sheds a light on the nature of our Universe.

Yu Deng won a Fields Medal for work that addresses a grand mathematical dream.

When Hannah Cairo was a 17-year-old high school student, she did something mathematicians had been unable to do for four decades: she overturned the Mizohata-Takeuchi conjecture, a famous prediction…

The graph of a rational function in which the degree of the polynomial in the numerator and the degree of the polynomial in the denominator are equal has a horizontal asymptote. We consider whether...
