Plus.Maths.Org

Plus.maths.org is a free website produced in the style of a popular science magazine, inviting young adults, students, teachers, and all life-long learners into the world of mathematics. We publish articles, podcasts and videos on any aspect of mathematics, covering topics as diverse as art, medicine, cosmology and sport, and showing how recent news stories were often based on some underlying piece of maths that never made it to the newspapers. And all past content remains available online, which besides making for good browsing is, we hope, a useful resource for maths school students and teachers. Our aim is to enable our non-expert audiences to engage with maths concepts that arise in everyday life and raise awareness and appreciation of mathematics. We offer anyone who is curious about maths and the world an opportunity to stay connected with mathematics, refreshing their knowledge and keeping up to date with current research. Based at the University of Cambridge, plus.maths.org acts as a conduit for researchers across the UK and around the world to communicate their work to new audiences, often supporting them in their first opportunity to engage in this way. And we want to encourage the next generation of mathematicians by providing diverse role models, helping to break down perceived barriers, and revealing the maths in many careers. Our focus on the mathematicians we work with, as well as on their research, brings mathematics to life, conveying the creative and dynamic nature of doing mathematics. We hope you enjoy discovering these mathematical stories!
