How have math concepts been used as plot devices in fiction? Mathematical Structure in Fiction #GreshamLecture Mathematical concepts have often been used to create new structural forms in fiction, as in the works of Raymond Queneau and Jorge Luis Borges. The members of Queneau’s Oulipo group (including Georges Perec and Italo Calvino) sought to create works using various constraints as an impetus to innovation. Eleanor Catton’s The Luminaries (2013) continues in this tradition. And mathematical

How has maths been used in the fight against Covid-19? Maths vs. Covid-19 #GreshamLecture Mathematics has been used as a tool to understand and control infectious disease for over a century, but Covid-19 brought along a whole epidemic of new challenges. In this joint lecture with the London Mathematical Society we will see some of the maths used in the fight against the pandemic, and also hear some insights into life as a mathematician assisting with policy advice during this unprecedented time.

Why is the set of integers called ℤ ? When was the equals sign first used? How about zero? Good notation tends to catch on quickly, whereas bad notation can obscure beautiful theory. The lecture explores how the introduction of new notation has paved the way for new leaps in understanding, and considers some mathematical quirks of language, such as what the number 4 in English has in common with the number 11 in Russian.

How do we create coins? The Maths of Coins and Currencies #GreshamLecture People have used money – and made counterfeits - for thousands of years. Archimedes came up with a clever way of finding out if you’ve been cheated by a goldsmith. Making coins with the right proportions of the right metals presented a huge mathematical challenge for Fibonacci and other mathematicians in the middle ages. This lecture discusses mathematical elements of coin design, denominations, and why former Gresham Prof

Upcoming #mathshistory lecture: The Mathematical Life of Florence Nightingale Watch online or in-person: https://gres.hm/maths-nightingale Professor Sarah Hart of Birkbeck, University of London, uncovers Florence Nightingale's role as a pioneer of data science and medical statistics. Her innovative use of statistical diagrams helped people see just how many deaths were being caused by poor hygiene in military hospitals. This work led to her becoming, in 1858, the first woman elected to the Royal
