Voices of Mathematics takes you inside the University of Cambridge’s Mathematics Faculty, the home of the Cambridge Mathematics departments. From number theory and geometry to cosmology and quantum physics, the Faculty’s work explores fundamental and exciting questions to extend the boundaries of discovery. In conversations with Cambridge researchers, we explore topics across pure and applied mathematics, mathematical statistics and theoretical physics. Join us for conversations with members of the Mathematics Faculty as they share their personal insights into the fascinating - and wide - world of mathematics and the mathematical sciences.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-12T06:18:01.752624+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/voices-of-mathematics-7536899"},"episode":{"title":"Voices of Mathematics: Hannah Fry","slug":"voices-of-mathematics-hannah-fry","published_at":"2025-12-18T11:22:41+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/voices-of-mathematics-7536899/voices-of-mathematics-hannah-fry","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/voices-of-mathematics-7536899","url":"https://mathematicsatcambridge.podbean.com/e/voices-of-mathematics-hannah-fry/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/vh9eaty7b46rvrvd/Hanah_re-issue_mixdown6pzb3.mp3","summary":"Welcome to Voices of Mathematics, a podcast from the Mathematics Faculty at the University of Cambridge. In this episode, we revisit one of our favourite interviews from the last year with Professor Hannah Fry. In January 2025 mathematician, author and broadcaster Hannah Fry joined the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics as Cambridge's first Professor of the Public Understanding of Mathematics. In this podcast, Hannah Fry talks about how her interest in public engagement grew directly out of her research as a mathematician, reveals how she got into maths in the first place, and shares one of her favourite mathematical moments. The podcast was recorded in November 2024 when her appointment was announced to an excited audience at a conference on communicating mathematics, held at the Isaac Newton Institute here in Cambridge. The event was organised by the podcast hosts Dr Marianne Freiberger and Rachel Thomas, the Editors of Plus (plus.maths.org). To learn more about the topics mentioned in this podcast, see: our article about Hannah Fry's appointment as Professor of the Public Understanding of Mathematics Hannah Fry on Instagram The original episode was released by Plus, part of the Faculty's family of engagement, outreach and education projects (maths.org), for the Maths on the Move podcast.
