Description of Activity
Invited Participant in the Isaac Newton Institute Programme on the Modern History of Mathematics. This four-month programme brings together mathematicians and other scholars working in the history of mathematics. At the heart of the programme is a theme of “diversity of people, context and content”: looking beyond the “big names” to the broader communities of people who have been engaged in mathematical research; considering mathematical contexts beyond academia, such as government and industry; and investigating mathematical innovation and impact beyond mathematics itself. Key themes will include 20th century developments in algebra (e.g., the history of the classification of finite simple groups) and in dynamical systems (e.g., topological dynamics), and the contribution of mathematics to developments in computer and data science taking into account the circulation of ideas in understudied communities such as those in Eastern Europe and China. The aim of the programme is to broaden, deepen and accelerate current research, enable new perspectives and collaborations among participants and beyond, and stimulate new research, outreach, and impact, especially through unexpected synergies and insights emerging within and across our key themes.| Period | 27 Jan 2025 → 16 Feb 2025 |
