Segal has won a Chern Medal for his "visionary mathematical insights that have had an enduring influence in a wide range of fields."
John Pardon won a Fields Medal for work in geometry that sheds a light on the nature of our Universe.
Find out how random shapes shed light on one of the hardest problems in physics.
Mathematics is an indispensable tool in physics, but can physics solve problem in maths? Find out more in this article.
Find out how a theory from physics has provided tools for solving long-standing problems in number theory. And in turn how number theory helps solve the mystery of black holes.
"The 20th century was the interaction of geometry and physics, and the 21st century is the interaction of number theory with physics." Find out why in our conversation with Yang-Hui He from the London Institute of Mathematical Sciences!
If, as string theory suggests, the world is made of strings, then what does that mean for a geometry of points? Find out more in this video.
