When it comes to lecturing, there's nothing our professors can't do. They smash courses of 16 lectures with a seamless brilliance which awes our students. There's nothing they don't know. Here's the latest 'Information Theory' lecture from Sam Cohen:

AI is ravenous and is eating mathematicians' lunch. A long-standing problem is solved, others are in its sights. But is this more than just a problem about problems? Here's Fields Medallist James Maynard. Read the Fields Medallists' Declaration:

Among his many interests, Kurt Gödel wrote a privately circulated formal proof for the existence of God using modal logic. But it was an earlier work from 1931 that upended mathematics and logic and which still applies today. Here's Tibo to explain.

What percentage of a mathematician's time is spent in a state of frustration? Or, indeed, any scientist? 10%? 30%? Higher? Oxford Mathematician Torkel Loman puts a number on it.

One thing you can guarantee about social media is that if you want 20 million views of your films, don't put up clips from student maths lectures. Unless the lecturer is Philip Maini. He's back with 3 lectures on Mathematical Biology. 40 million? No 1:

Here's a top tip for aspiring mathematicians from Oxford Mathematician Philip Maini. Be lazy. More advice (and maths) from Philip in his 1st year student lecture on Fourier Series, the latest we are making available.

Remember all those kids who aced maths in school and went on to university to study, shock horror, maths? Well, no doubt they aced it there too because it was just more of the same. No doubt...

Artificial Intelligence may not be up for the Fields Medal any time soon, but it may act as an intermediary for mathematicians working on proofs. However, something is lacking for AI to get down to it. Terry Tao looks to the positives. Full lecture:

When Roger Penrose goes for a walk you might expect him to be thinking about cosmology etc. But he isn't. At least not always. Sometimes he is thinking about the walk itself. And the mathematics of it. Because Roger has his obsessions. Like lots of us.

The professor and the pendulums. We know what will happen when one pendulum swings. But two? 'Oxford Mathematicians and their Toys', episode three, starring Jon Chapman (and the pendulums).

A computer scientist walks into a mathematics department... AI is in Frankenstein mode, worrying about the monster it has created. Even the tech bros seem terrified. So, where does mathematics fit in to AI's future?

It's tough, isn't? Probably one of the biggest challenges for mathematicians of all ages. Just how do you talk about your subject to friends and family who aren't mathematical? Our crack team of undergraduates ponder.

If you are in Oxford, walk across to Port Meadow, open grassland unploughed for 4000 years where cows cool their cloven hooves in the River Thames (known as the Isis in Oxford) & people wild swim alongside swans & geese. Idyllic. But we're mathematicians, so we have a question.

The World Cup is almost here and everyone has an opinion about likely winners. But being mathematicians, we have insisted on looking at the data, and we think we have found the secret to predicting results. Joshua Bull is our analyst in the studio.

Mathematicians are all the same. They look the same. They only like other mathematicians. They only like maths. They did nothing but maths from the age of two. Etc.

When we put student lectures on YouTube we knew we'd get comments - positive, negative, funny, not so funny. But we weren't ready for one question. So finally we've decided to answer it. Here's a film about whiteboards. PS: And here's the next lecture:
