Mathematicians may have their faults, but at least they are trying to make the trains run on time. Oxford Mathematics Research has turned to max-plus algebra to tackle transport congestion. https://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/node/32121

Maths and Brexit? Surely not? Well yes, if we may, at least as a way of understanding the recent Indicative Votes in the House of Commons. Florian Klimm from Oxford Statistics and Mathematics has used 'bipartite networks’ to reveal some relationships. https://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/node/32118

Randomness is not the enemy but a friend, vital for internet security and, almost as important, winning penalty-shoot-outs. Julia Wolf explains all in our next Oxford Mathematics Public Lecture. 30 April, 5pm. Come along or watch live on this page.

Oxford Mathematicians Jon Chapman, Professor of Mathematics and its Applications and Mason Porter, Oxford Mathematics Visiting Professor and Professor of Mathematics at UCLA, have been made Fellows of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics for their vast array of work across the field of applied mathematics. https://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/node/32114
