Professor Marcus du Sautoy is widely known for his work to popularise mathematics. He appears regularly in the media and has written numerous academic articles and popular books on mathematics. He gave the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures in 2006.
Marcus du Sautoy is the Charles Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science at the Oxford University, a chair he holds jointly at the Department of Continuing Education and the Mathematical Institute. He is also a Professor of Mathematics and a Fellow of New College.
Mathematician and science communicator Marcus du Sautoy began his talk with the story of Evariste Galois, a Paris revolutionary who died in his brother’s arms. The night before, Galois had stayed up all night trying to explain his mathematical ideas before his duel the next day.
Research – Marcus du Sautoy. My work seeks to understand the world of symmetry by using a classical tool from number theory: zeta functions. It involves methods from a wide spectrum of mathematics: p-adic Lie groups, model theory, algebraic geometry, analytic methods and more. Zeta Functions of Groups.
Apr 10, 2019 · The game of Go played between a DeepMind computer program and a human champion created an existential crisis of sorts for Marcus du Sautoy, a mathematician and professor at Oxford University.
Professor du Sautoy has been involved in science at Oxford since 1983 when he first arrived as a mathematics undergraduate. He is a member of the University’s Mathematical Institute and is a Senior Media Fellow of the EPSRC.
Natural boundaries for Euler products of Igusa zeta functions of elliptic curves. du Sautoy, M International Journal of Number Theory volume 14 issue 8 2317-2331 (03 Jul 2018)
Marcus du Sautoy investigates how games provided the first opportunities for deep mathematical insight into the world, how understanding maths can help us play games better, and how both maths and games are integral to human psychology and culture.
Marcus du Sautoy. We study the analytic behaviour of adelic versions of Igusa integrals given by integer polynomials defining elliptic curves.
