INI newsletter - August 2019 No Images? Click here (above) Matt Parker introduces "Talking Maths in Public", an annual maths communication conference which was this year hosted at INI between 29-31 August. INI NEWS BULLETIN Dear friends, associates and supporters of INI, Welcome to the August 2019 edition of our monthly news bulletin. In this release you will find the following seven stories: 1. #SummerMathsPuzzles : our school-holidays-friendly project has wrapped up, but the brain teasers live on via our website. Would you like to direct colleagues or associates to our newsletter sign-up page?

(above) Sierpiński triangle. Throughout the month of August we were excited to run our #SummerMathsPuzzles initiative on newton.ac.uk. The Institute would like to offer a sincere thanks and congratulations to all those that took part in solving our daily doses of non-trivial brain teasers - your efforts have been inspiring and impressive in equal measure. But never fear if you are only just discovering the 23 entries that made up this mammoth challenge. You will find each one of the puzzles available via the link below in perpetuity. We hope that they continue to bring joy (and frustration) to you, your families, friends and colleagues. 2. PROGRAMMES POSTER: a comprehensive guide to all our 2020 programmes and workshops is now available for download. Each year the Institute produces a free-to-download .pdf file detailing the programmes and workshops due to be hosted in the forthcoming year. The 2020 edition has now been finalised and can be accessed via the link below. 3. PODCASTS OF THE MONTH: a triology of podcasts in this edition, ranging from the Wiener-Hopf to environmental science via a "golden age of maths communication". (above) Dr Anastasia Kisil of the "Bringing pure and applied analysis together via the Wiener-Hopf technique, its generalisations and applications" programme. The INI podcast series continues to grow in output and reach, with three new episodes added throughout August. All of those detailed below, and more, are available to stream via the link. Those that use iTunes - or any podcast app which draws from its database - should also be able to find and subscribe to the "Isaac Newton Institue Podcast" via their search functions. We hope you enjoy the conversations, exchanges and insights within. > Episode #14 "A Golden Age of maths communication", an interview with Professor Chris Budd 4. ATIYAH EVENT: "Sir Michael Atiyah: Forays into Physics" to take place at INI on Friday 25 October 2019. ![]() Please see below for details of an event celebrating the works of INI founding Director Sir Michael Atiyah, due to take place at the Institute on 25 October 2019.
5. TEACHING MATHS EVENT: "Supporting postgraduates who teach mathematics and statistics" to take place at INI on Wednesday 16 October 2019. The Institute is once again proud to be hosting the event: "Supporting postgraduates who teach mathematics and statistics". Please see below for more details and a registration link. As this event is aimed specifically at those in the early stages of their careers, we would encourage those reading this message to forward its details on to any relevant individuals or groups within their networks.
6. VIDEO INTERVIEWS: two new videos featuring INI programme organisers now available to view.
