# Newton Gateway to Mathematics

The Newton Gateway to Mathematics, formerly known as the Turing Gateway to Mathematics (TGM), located at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences (INI) is a research intermediary between the users of mathematics and those focused on research. It is supported by the University of Cambridge and is to host events focused on discussion and exploration of mathematical topics.

## History by year

* In 2013, originally named after famous mathematician Alan Turing, the Newton Gateway to Mathematics was seed-financed in 2003 by the University of Cambridge's Higher Education Innovation fund. One of the first initiatives held in November 2013 in Birmingham, featured a workshop on Optimization in Space Engineering (OSE). The workshop was in association with the European Space Agency (ESA) and the University of Southampton. Topics included interplanetary trajectory optimization, non-circular spacecraft orbits, and landing trajectories. A follow-up workshop on OSE laid the groundwork for identifying challenges in the UK's aerospace industry.
* In 2014, the program was presented to explore solutions for the public sector, funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). After the launch event at the Royal Society in London, events focused on mathematics and public policy issues were held.
* In 2015, January saw the first publishing of a quarterly newsletter. Featuring topic such as multimodal analysis applied to big data, and covering a wide range of fields. More workshops followed showcasing imaging techniques such as multi-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), and dynamic imaging - technologies used in a broad range of fields, such as engineering, mathematics, biology, and medicine.
* In 2015, September - a third OSE workshop held set out to plan future workshops in the field of aerospace engineering.
* In 2017 has seen topics such as Environmental Modeling in Industry Study Group, Developments in Healthcare Imagine: Connecting with Academia, Data Sharing, and Governance, and the 2nd Edwards Symposium.
* In January 2019, the organization was renamed to Newton Gateway to Mathematics, with the aim to further distinguish itself from other organizations.

## Location and buildings

The Newton Gateway is located at number 20 Clarkson Road, Cambridge, CB3 OEH, UK, at the University of Cambridge. The Faulks Gatehouse is located within the University of Cambridge's Centre for Mathematical Sciences site and was financed by the Dill Faulks Educational Trust (DFET). The construction of the building, which consists of a semi-circular room for seminars and three offices, was completed in June 2001. Two of the three offices are occupied by the Newton Gateway to Mathematics.

## Organization and administration

The Newton Gateway employs full-time staff members; among which a manager responsible for the director of the Isaac Newton Institute. The Isaac Newton Institute's Management Committee oversees the budget for both the Newton Gateway to Mathematics' short-term and long-term fiscal planning, while the Newton Gateway to Mathematics' staff handles day-to-day duties. The Newton Gateway to Mathematics falls under the administration of the Isaac Newton Institute's director, as the head of the entire operation.
