Your favourite mathematical duo are back as I once again team up with James Grime (aka  @singingbanana ) - this time to play an original copy of Lewis Carroll's Game of Logic. If only we can deduce the rules... Premieres today at 5pm (GMT+1) - see you in the live chat! 

Maths Dinner 2024 at St Edmund Hall, University of Oxford - a great way to celebrate the start of summer term before the real work (exam revision) begins. Good luck everyone and remember to do more preparation than I do for my YouTube exam videos!! 

Shoutout to all TWELVE schools that came along to Lancaster University School of Mathematics to learn about the Maths of the Pokédex (realistic or otherwise). Swipe to see the Pokémon who’s hug can crush a human spine…

6 days, $1 million, >200 million viewers - can AlphaGo defeat the world’s best Go player? And what does it all mean for the future of AI? The third article from TRM intern Clare Teng brings the series to a close and cements AlphaGo’s place in history as the OG of artificial intelligence. ChatGP-who?

I loved football stickers as a kid, so it was an incredible amount of fun to apply some Maths to work out the most efficient way to complete the Topps Euro 2024 album. By making the most of your 'parallels' you can do it for under £100 with some strategic trading. More info at the link above :) 

There ain’t no party like a mathematicians party… dressed to the nines to celebrate the start of the Tom Rocks Maths world tour. First stop: Thailand. I can’t wait to meet you all!! 

COME AND WORK WITH ME!! I’m excited to take the next step with Tom Rocks Maths as I begin building a team to bring maths enjoyment to the world. The ‘Social Media Assistant’ role is ideally suited to a student or someone starting out on their social media journey, but as the first official member of the TRM team the opportunity for progression is pretty much unlimited. Initially I expect there to be ~10 hours per week as you help to manage the Tom Rocks Maths accounts on IG, X and Facebook, as well as launching the TikTok channel. More information - and the application form - here:  https://forms.gle/wyN4nFSfBtWWxx6a6 

I had far too much fun talking all things Maths and Pokémon at Cheltenham College. Thank you to all the students for coming along and excellent work with the catch formula - I think that’s the first time we’ve ever caught all 3 Pokémon with only 3 attempts! What are the odds of that… 

The 3rd photograph from the ‘Tattooed Academics’ exhibition at Royal Museums Greenwich focuses on my favourite equation - Navier-Stokes. This was the first of my mathematical tattoos and has become famous in its own right after being featured in my first video for ​⁠ @numberphile . At this point I’d say it’s probably more recognisable than me!

Rather surreal to be interviewed on Latvian TV, but amazing to be given such a platform to talk about the importance of Maths and my work on Ocean Pollution. Watch the full segment at the link above - although it is of course in Latvian, including a voiceover for me which I assume translates well...
