Insights and interviews from the Mathematics Faculty, University of Cambridge.
Voices of Mathematics takes you inside the University of Cambridge’s Mathematics Faculty, the home of the Cambridge Mathematics departments.
From number theory and geometry to cosmology and quantum physics, the Faculty’s work explores fundamental and exciting questions to extend the boundaries of discovery. In conversations with Cambridge researchers, we explore topics across pure and applied mathematics, mathematical statistics and theoretical physics.
Join us for conversations with members of the Mathematics Faculty as they share their personal insights into the fascinating - and wide - world of mathematics and the mathematical sciences.

Welcome to Voices of Mathematics, a podcast from the Mathematics Faculty at the University of Cambridge.
From number theory and geometry to cosmology and quantum physics, join us to explore topics across pure and applied mathematics, mathematical statistics and theoretical physics.
In this episode we talk to Holly Krieger, Professor of Mathematics at the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics.
Holly Krieger works in the overlap of two areas of mathematics: number theory - which is famous for problems such as Fermat's Last Theorem - and complex dynamics, which gives rise to beautiful fractals. This intersection is known as arithmetic dynamics, and it's an exciting, relatively young area of research.
Holly Krieger's research has been recognised with several prestigious prizes and awards. With over 11 million views for her appearances on Numberphile, she has also connected with a wide audience to share the beauty and fascination of mathematics.
We talked to her to learn more about her research area, mathematical communication, and the interesting advice she'd give for people starting out on a career in maths.
The podcast is hosted by Marianne Freiberger and Rachel Thomas, Editors of Plus, from the communications and outreach team at the Mathematics Faculty.
