On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Oxford Mathematics Public Lecture
Signatures of Streams – Terry Lyons
Wednesday 2nd November 2022
5.00-6.00pm, Mathematical Institute, Oxford
A calculator processes numbers without caring that these numbers refer to items in our shopping, or the calculations involved in designing an airplane. Number without context is a remarkable abstraction that we learn as infants and which has profoundly affected our world.
Our lives start, progress in complex ways, and are finally complete. So do tasks executed on a computer. Multimodal streams are a pervasive “type”, and even without fixing the context, have a rich structure. Developing this structure leads to wide-ranging tools that have had award-winning impact on methodology in health care, finance, and computer technology.
Terry Lyons is Professor of Mathematics in Oxford and a Fellow of St Anne’s College. His research is supported through the DataSig and Cimda-Oxford programmes.

The lecture will be available on our Oxford Mathematics YouTube Channel on 09 November at 5 pm.
