Our new undergraduates are arriving in Oxford this week in preparation for the start of term next week. Exciting times and there's much to take in, but no doubt James Munro's introductory online maths lectures are top of their list...

You can watch them too with the latest now on the Oxford Mathematics YouTube Channel (link in bio). Sorry, there is no direct link, but Meta has introduced a new paid subscription for direct links. Deep sigh.

Among his many interests, Kurt Gödel wrote a privately circulated formal proof for the existence of God using modal logic. But it was an earlier work from 1931 that upended mathematics and logic and which still applies today. Here's Tibo to explain.
