The Institute of Mathematical Innovation (IMI) podcasts are a series of public lectures in applied and interdisciplinary mathematics available to download for free. 
Maths plays a hugely important role in modern sciences. Listen to a wide range of lectures on the maths behind scientific advances and how it can be harnessed to improve lives and the world we live in. 
 
The IMI works with researchers and businesses of all sizes to help them translate fundamental mathematical insight into economic and societal impact.

This talk presents a history of the Bayesian inference and subjective probability, as viewed by a Bayesian Physicist. Dr Colin Fox is a leading international expert in large-scale Bayesian inverse problems and Professor of Physics at the University of Otago, New Zealand.

A Subjective History of Subjective Probability – Dr Colin Fox

Optimising engine performance: Deterministic chaos in combustion engines

Professor Chris Brace from the University of Bath introduces some of the difficult-to-model aspects of an engine’s operation which are important in the quest to develop more efficient and clean engines.

Optimising engine performance

Professor Michael Field, from Imperial College London, address the question of what chaos is (and is not) and how one can visualise and describe the general mathematics of chaos and complex dynamics. It will also include some striking images of chaos and numerical demonstrations.

Chaos and the Art of Visualising Complexity

Professor Ian Sloan from the University of New South Wales in Australia explores how it is possible to work in unimaginable worlds and the practicality of this – ranging from problems in the finance industry to groundwater flows.

Beyond The Fourth Dimension

Dr Carola-Bibiane Schönlieb from the University of Cambridge explains how mathematical concepts can be used beyond special effects - from the reconstruction of crucial information in satellite images, and the restoration of magnetic resonance (MR) images, to the manipulation of digital photographs and the restoration of artworks.
