Maths on the MoveMeet your digital twinImagine we could have a digital version of our entire body which could help us, and our doctors, decide what life style is good for us, predict which diseases we might get, and how to best treat them? In short, what if we could all have our very own digital twin?
The idea isn't quite as sci-fi as it sounds. A gigantic scientific effort called the Physiome Project is about piecing together a mathematical description of the entire physiology of the human body. Once this has been achieved to a sufficient level digital twins will be a...2025-06-1821 min

The Digital Lifestyle ShowFrom Analog to Digital and Back: Oli Freke on Synthesizer History and RevivalTDL Show #963 This week on the show, I’m talking to Oli Freke, author of the brilliant Synthesizer Evolution book, which traces the history of synthesizers from their early beginnings to the analog peak, the digital takeover, and back to analog. We discuss how he got started writing the book and the amazing stories he discovered along the way. He shares his personal highlights and insights on the renaissance of analog synthesis. We also dive into Oli’s new project, SynthTrax.net—a venture to document which synthesizers were used on all tracks.

Maths on the MoveThe art of maths and the maths of artMathematics is a creative pursuit so it's not surprising that there are communalities between maths and art in all its forms. In this episode we explore the intersection between maths and art with physicist Andrzej Herczyński and mathematician Paul Glendinning.
Andrzej Herczyński
Andrzej and Paul were two of the organisers of the workshop Space, scale and scaling in art, which recently took place at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Cambridge. We find out about the rich dialogue that can ensue between artists and mathematicians, how maths and physics can help us und...2024-04-3033 min

Maths on the MoveFrom clicks to chordsHow is mathematics related to frequency related to pitch? We found out from our favourite music correspondent, Oli Freke! In this podcast you can hear how the music we love emerges from pure mathematical beats.
This podcast was originally released earlier this year when musician Ed Sheeran was in the news as he was being sued for similarities between his song Thinking out loud from 2014, and Marvin Gaye's song Get it on from 1973. But, given the way we write music to fit into specific genres, is it possible to write unique music with the limited quant...2023-10-0325 min
Maths on the MoveFrom clicks to chords
You might have heard in the news recently that musician Ed Sheeran was being sued for similarities between his song Thinking out loud from 2014, and Marvin Gaye's song Get it on from 1973. But, given the way we write music to fit into specific genres, is it possible to write unique music with the limited quantity of notes and chords available? In this podcast Oli Freke, our favourite music correspondent, answers this question and plays us real examples of the connections between maths and music.
You can find out more about the maths in music in Oli...2023-05-1625 min
Maths on the MoveAI, babies, and agencyIn this podcast, first published in August 2020, we hear from machine learning pioneer Yoshua Bengio, who believes that creating a true artificial intelligence will only be possible once machines have something that babies are born with: the ability to interact with the world, observe what happens, and adapt to the consequences of their actions.

We'll find out how such agency helps us learn, what it could mean for computers to have it too, and hear about Bengio's work introducing it into an area of machine learning called dee...2022-08-1622 min
Maths on the MoveMachine learning and artificial intelligenceArtificial intelligence and machines that train themselves might sound like a plot from a science fiction movie, but these things are already part of our everyday lives.
How can a machine learn to distinguish a picture of a cat from a picture of a dog?
At the Heidelberg Laureate Forum in 2019, Chris Budd, Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Bath, talked us through the basics of how these learning machines tick. While Raj Reddy, Turing Award winner and artificial intelligence pioneer, talked to us about his grand challenges in arti...2022-08-0931 min
