INI NEWS BULLETIN
January 2021
Dear friends, associates and supporters of INI,
Welcome to the January 2020 edition of our monthly news bulletin. In case you missed it, we'd very much like to draw your attention to our recent funding increase announcement. The extra £10m in grant money made available to the Institute by UKRI / EPSRC will lead to a dramatic step change in the volume and reach of the activities we are able to provide. We hope you will be able to join us on this exciting journey.
In this issue, you will find details of our latest Annual Report, links to the next programme due to be held at INI, and an enigmatic suggestion of more news to come...
Thanks as always for your continued support.

ANNUAL REPORT 2019-2020: Latest document now available to view, download and print.
We are pleased to say that our latest Annual Report, complete with a fresh and colourful design, is now available to view on newton.ac.uk. Covering the period from August 2019 to July 2020, within you will find: details of the activities and outcomes for four INI programmes, specifics of the Institute's response to the Coronavirus pandemic, an overview of participant data, a financial breakdown, accounts of outreach activities and much more.
Accompanying this is the matching document from our knowledge exchange arm, the Newton Gateway to Mathematics.
Please click the link below to read or download both documents at your leisure.

FORTHCOMING PROGRAMME: Applicable resurgent asymptotics: towards a universal theory
(above) “An interpretation of the tronquée poles of Painlevé 1 with rain drops. In a mathematical analogy the region between calm and disturbed water is delineated by an anti-Stokes line, across which exponentially small terms may grow to dominate the behaviour of a function" (iStock.com/Photo-Max).
The Applicable resurgent asymptotics (ARA) programme will begin on Monday 1 March 2021. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic it will be delivered in two parts. The first section will run from March to June of this year and will be conducted virtually, with allowances for physical attendance at INI if the situation allows within that timeframe. The second part of the programme is currently scheduled for the third quarter of 2022.
Please see below for an extract of the programme's overview, and a link to its full details on our website. We look forward with great anticipation to the seminars and workshops to come.
Asymptotic analysis and perturbation methods can provide approximate solutions and analytical properties to a broad range of problems where an exact solution cannot be found. They are therefore some of the most critically important tools in mathematics and theoretical physics. Nevertheless, the existing approaches to study asymptotic problems are often context specific, varying in rigour or practicality. A key challenge, which this programme will seek to address, is to unify these approaches in asymptotics into techniques of enhanced efficacy and broader applicability.
...
The programme will bring together applied mathematicians, mathematical analysts, theoretical physicists and subject specialists working on asymptotic analysis to enable significant technology transfer and to inaugurate the next generation of interdisciplinary researchers within these fields. Given the breadth of activity, and the diverse disciplines involved, the stage is set for further major advances and for unforeseen new directions.
AND FINALLY...
... not content with the excitement of last week's funding news, we have a further dramatic announcement that we hope to make in the coming week. Keep your eyes on your inbox and our social media feeds for more updates...
And on that mysterious note, farewell for this month.
