About TMiP


Talking Maths in Public is a conference which runs in the UK every two years, for people who work in, or otherwise participate in, communicating mathematics to the public. The event is independently organised, and funded by ticket sales and grants from mathematical institutions. Our events in 2017, 2019, 2021 (online) and 2023 all fully sold out and were highly rated by attendees.

TMiP is run by an independent committee of people who work in different areas of maths communication, and the event includes workshops provided by expert guests, discussions on varied topics, networking sessions and chances to share ideas and showcase projects.

During the Coronavirus pandemic in 2020, Talking Maths in Public organised a series of online events called Talking Maths in Lockdown, on topics including online communication, inclusivity and learning new skills. The recordings and resources from these sessions are still available.

As well as TMiP, the UK also has the mathsci-comm Network, which aims to connect those working in, and with a stake in, communicating complex mathematics and data science to a variety of non-expert audiences - including researchers, media and communications professionals, those working in policy in government and non-government organisations.

If you're a math communicator based in the USA, the Math Communications network is attempting to set up a new equivalent organisation, inspired by TMiP.

TMiP Projects


The Talking Maths in Public Podcast is a community podcast for members of the TMiP network, which collects short segments from different people working in maths communication to share their projects, ideas and thoughts, as well as discuss maths communication and education research, and provide a regular opportunity to hear from others in the community. Series 1 of the podcast began in July 2024, and episodes were released monthly until December 2024. You can find more information and links to subscribe on the podcast page.

TMiP Animation Generation Collaboration animated logo

The Animation Generation Collaboration is a chance for maths communicators to create simple animations showcasing mathematical ideas using a range of different techniques and processes, and share how they do this in order to help others build their confidence in using animations to communicate. Visit the Animation Generation Collaboration page for details of how you can get involved.

TMiP logo and MEGA Grant logo

Talking Maths in Public is proud to be partners with the MEGA Grant, a bursary scheme for mathematical engagement activities organised by Stand-up Mathematician Matt Parker. Applications for the next MEGA Grant are now open (closing on 22/7), and the winner will be announced at the 2025 TMiP Conference.
