☀️ While we were away, maths kept moving…
We took a little summer break, but there was still plenty to discover! Before we dive back into sharing new stories, here are three things that caught our attention this summer:
📚 READ
Research Directions in Number Theory: Women in Numbers VI — a new open-access volume bringing together research in number theory and highlighting the work of women mathematicians.
https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-032-11183-8
🎧 LISTEN
The Leelavati Prize 2026: Hannah Fry — a conversation with Hannah Fry, this year's Leelavati Prize winner, about communicating mathematics, mathematics in culture, and why sharing the joy of maths matters.

🎥 WATCH
The Mathematics in Machine Learning by mathematician and science communicator Ellie Sleightholm — an accessible introduction to the mathematics behind vector embeddings, recommendations and large language models. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbPNRDvpQ6E
Three different ways of looking at mathematics — through research, communication and the technologies shaping our future.
And now… we're back! 🎉
📅 Our first new story will be published on 16 September.
We can't wait to continue sharing the stories and experiences of women in mathematics with you. 💚
