About this talk

Join 'The Mozart of mathematics' (New York Times), Fields Medallist and Macarthur Genius Terence Tao for the greatest maths lesson you've ever had. Widely celebrated as the greatest mathematician of his generation, Terence Tao completed university maths courses at the age of nine, was awarded his PhD by Princeton at 21, and is still the youngest ever professor appointed to UCLA. Today his views on the disruption and potential of AI in mathematics make headlines across the globe. But Terry's genius lies not only in advancing human understanding. He is also a beloved teacher able to convey the beauty and power of mathematics to everyone. He will move effortlessly from children discovering infinity through play to the numbers that underpin our online lives; from Johannes Kepler using algebra to price a barrel of wine to curved geometries that explain why GPS works and planes don't fly in straight lines on a map.
