OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Signatures of Streams - Professor Terry Lyons
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.
