Join us on Wednesday, 8th Feb 8pm in L1 at the #MathematicalInstitute in #oxford for a talk by Prof. Ben Green on Some Open Problems. #invariants https://www.invariants.org.uk/2023/02/some-open-problems-talk-by-prof-ben-green/?preview=true&frame-nonce=02f5b8cc86
Title: Some open problems
Abstract: I will discuss a variety of open problems of a type which, I hope, will be accessible to all. I will focus on problems which are not quite the most famous ones, and I will try and explain why I think they are interesting.
See you on Wednesday at the Mathematical Institute L1.

Very excited to announce the first #invariants event of the year. Should be good fun!!
Check out the Maths + Cancer Podcast by #balliol college, #oxford fellow Vicky Neale who has given talks at the #invariants before. https://oxford.shorthandstories.com/maths-plus-cancer/
Contains lots great maths! #maths
Instead of an #introduction, let's just start with some hard #maths straight from #Oxford. Here's one from our #puzzle archives. Feel free to discuss in the comments, but make sure to hide your #spoilers!!!
From our 2022 Summer Puzzle Challenge,
Let π(π) be the largest prime factor of positive integer π. Suppose a sequence (πβ) satisfies
πβ = 2, πβββ = πβ + π(πβ).
Find the largest value of π such that πβ < 10β΄.
All the best from the #invariants :))
