Speaker: Professor Paul Glendinning, FRSE FIMA. President of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications

The Mathematical Sciences have never been more visible. Modellers and statisticians have informed policy during the pandemic and Big Data impinges on everybody’s daily lives. For a mathematician there is so much more: mathematics is all around us. In this seminar I will explore the world with a mathematical eye. This leads to questions about how a mathematician sees ordinary objects, mathematics in society, and the role and responsibilities of the mathematical community to help unlock everyone’s inner mathematician.
