June Huh wasn’t interested in mathematics until a chance encounter during his sixth year of college. Now his profound insights connecting combinatorics and geometry have led to math’s highest honor.

Maryna Viazovska has received a Fields Medal, a prestigious honor often described as the Nobel Prize of Mathematics, for her work on the sphere-packing problem in 8 and 24 dimensions. Previously, the problem had been solved for only three dimensions or fewer.…

With Hugo Duminil-Copin, thinking rarely happens without moving. His insights into the flow-related properties of complex networks have earned him the Fields Medal.

On his way to winning a Fields Medal, James Maynard has cut a path through simple-sounding questions about prime numbers that have stumped mathematicians for centuries.

With her homeland mired in war, the sphere-packing number theorist Maryna Viazovska has become the second woman to win a Fields Medal in the award’s 86-year history.

The Fields Medal is widely regarded as the highest honour a young mathematician can attain and is especially hard to win because the medals are only awarded every four years to mathematicians under the age of forty. This year Oxford Mathematician and Number…

Oxford Mathematics Public Lectures: James Maynard - Prime Time: How simple questions about prime numbers affect us all.

Numbers are fascinating, crucial and ubiquitous. The trouble is, we don't know that much about them. James Maynard, one of the leading…

An interview with Hugo Duminil-Copin, a French mathematician specializing in probability, permanent professor at Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques (IHES) since 2016 and 2022 Fields Medalist, awarded at the International Congress of Mathematicians in…

Hugo Duminil-Copin of the University of Geneva and the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques (IHES) solved longstanding problems in the probabilistic theory of phase transitions in statistical physics. More details: https://www.simonsfoundation.org/2022/07/05/fields…

By Krešimir Josić
Many articles, resources, and personal accounts address the transition from an applied mathematics career in academia to a position in business, industry, and/or government. These types of materials typically focus on traditional jobs within…

Using ideas borrowed from graph theory, two mathematicians have shown that extremely complex surfaces are easy to traverse.

Maryna Viazovska of the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) proved that the E8 lattice provides the densest packing of identical spheres in eight dimensions while also solving certain problems in Fourier analysis. More details: https://www.si…
