A Maths Week England event will be held in the Warwick Arts Centre creative learning space on Sunday 19 November 1:30-4pm. There will be origami, loaded dice experiments, building the hyperbolic plane, and counting with Incan knots, and more! More about Maths Week England hereLink opens in a new window.

This year, Warwick's Ada Lovelace Day celebration took place on Wednesday 18 October 2023 and featured talks from four inspirational women in STEM.

The University of Warwick has won a hat-trick of Golds after being rated as ‘outstanding’ by the government’s Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF). More details hereLink opens in a new window.

Miles Reid has been awarded the Royal Society's Sylvester Medal "for his exceptionally creative research and fundamental insights into higher-dimensional algebraic geometry, in particular the minimal model program for 3-folds, and for untiring work for the community of algebraic geometers".

Upon receiving the news, Miles writes

“I do not intend to retire anytime soon. My work is my purpose and main pleasure in life.

I enjoy work with project students. Like me, these often have a unique world view, individual thought processes and the ability to concentrate on a narrow problem to the exclusion of the world around. This doesn’t always benefit small talk at parties!

I am delighted that more women are becoming involved in STEM subject research, but we still have a long way to go in diversity issues. While gender is still very much a work in progress, the class divide in countries like the UK and the Eurocentric imbalance resulting from our colonial past represent even bigger challenges."

Congratulations to Warwick's team in the International Mathematical Competition for University Students (IMC2023)! Our team of 5 competed in Bulgaria and was ranked 17th overall among 72 competing teams of widely varying sizes. The individual results of the Warwick team members were:

First Prize: Peter Hyland, Jan Kuś, Kyle Thompson

Second Prize: Florian Keta

Third Prize: Iskander Trevor Mathews

Support and training came from George Kontogeorgiou, Oleg Pikhurko, Thomas Read, Robin Visser and Jun Yan
