Grade I listed. The Wren Library was completed in 1695 under the Mastership of Isaac Barrow, who persuaded his friend Christopher Wren to design it. The building work was carried out under the supervision of a local master mason, Robert Grumbold, who chose exterior stone with a pinkish tinge from a quarry in Rutland. The four statues are of Mathematics, Physics, Law and Divinity and are by Cibber.
Nevile's Court was built at the personal expense of Dr. Thomas Nevile in 1605-12 and initially comprised only three sides. The fourth, now the Wren Library, was originally a closed wall, with a centre gate, which has since been removed. This gate now stands as an entrance to the College from Trinity Lane. See below.
The interior of the library is very beautiful but unfortunately photography isn't allowed.

I was drawn to this graphic scene in Oostende—the weathered wooden pier anchoring the foreground, while a surreal skyline of navigation towers rises behind like exclamation marks on the horizon. There's a quiet choreography to the verticals, each structure playing its part in a strangely elegant visual ballet.
A magic square in recreational mathematics is a square array of numbers, usually positive integers, where the sum of the numbers in each row, each column, and both main diagonals are the same. Magic squares containing repeated entries are called "trivial".
In this magic square, every row and column sums to 15. So do both diagonals.
President Barack Obama has awarded Professor Stephen Hawking the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America's top civilian honour, at a ceremony held in the White House today. Hawking, Cambridge University's Lucasian Professor of Mathematics, commented, "I am delighted and honoured to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom. It is a great privilege to be awarded the Medal, especially by President Obama, whom I admire deeply".

The Andrew Wiles building~Mathematical Institute Oxford
Oxford Open Doors weekend
The Andrew Wiles Building is named after the Oxford professor who proved Fermat's Last Theorem, one of history's most difficult mathematical problems

A tribute to Joseph Louis Lagrange and his Mécanique Analytique.
The cycloid, the lagrangian equation of motion with the lagrangian function, the lagrangian function, position-velocity-acceleration in lagrangian formalism, the lagrangian equation of motion, arc length, Frénet-Serret's formulas, the cardioid, the main trihedron, ...
Studying Lagrangian Mechanics is very inspiring.

Click the large size to appreciate the mid-century stylin' of this Golden Library edition of "Mathematics: The Story of Numbers, Symbols and Space," copyright 1958.
This nearly mint copy (just a few scuffs and page yellowing because of the paper grade) has awesome illustrations made by the amazingly talented Lowell Hess. Text by Irving Adler.
Dicen por ahà que Newton construyó este puente, que une dos partes del Queen's College, sin utilizar ni un solo clavo. Y que más tarde, unos estudiantes lo desmontaron para analizar su estructura e intentaron volver a construirlo, pero fueron incapaces y necesitaron tornillos para dejarlo como estaba.
Crisp hexagons and all the symbols of mathematical knowledge.

An abstract shot from the new Mathematics gallery at the science room, designed by the late, great architect Zaha Hadid, which is modelled on a wind tunnel for a 1920s plane.
Thought this looked like a macro shot of an ant's head!

The bridge was designed in 1748 by William Etheridge (1709–76), and was built in 1749 by James Essex the Younger (1722–84). It has subsequently been repaired in 1866 and rebuilt to the same design in 1905.
The Mathematical Bridge (The Wooden Bridge)
I was once told that this bridge was built by Newton without Nuts and Bolts, but Newton died in 1727 a couple of decades before it was built. This is a well known myth.
In fact the bridge was designed by William Etheridge, and built by James Essex in 1749. It has been rebuilt on two occasions, in 1866 and in 1905, but has kept the same overall design.
