OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Craing the mathematical machine
My recent research uses the on-line collaborative proofs developed in
the polymath initiative, led by Gowers and Tao, for an empirical study
of mathematical collaboration. While the original motivation for the
work was to extend the support oered by computer aided proof, in
this talk I will outline some of the results about mathematical practice
obtained in by working with social scientists, philosophers and computer
scientists. I will focusing in particular on ideas of cra and landscape that
are emerging in studying the proof process.
e project is supported by EPSRC and collaborators include Andrew
Aberdein (Florida), Joe Corneli (Edinburgh), Chris Hollings (Oxford)
Lorenzo Lane (Oxford) Laura Meagher (Edinburgh), Alison Pease
(Dundee) and Fenner Tanswell (Oxford).
