Using polynomials and complex analysis to check for numerical error in the experimental study of an optimisation algorithm »
Splitting methods are special algorithms that are commonly used to solve optimisation problems for engineering and machine learning.This talk will introduce its main concepts with simple examples, and it features many pictures and the use of dynamical tools for visualisation.

Chebyshev polynomials, Lehmer numbers, and huge primes »
We consider the appearance of prime numbers in a family of linear recurrence sequences, labelled by a positive integer n.

Honeycombs and polytopes: another look at representation theory »
After introducing several geometrical models that can be used to calculate multiplicities in Lie group theory, we describe associated polytopes whose volumes can be considered as approximations of those multiplicities.
