A Mathematical Sciences Curriculum in the Age of AI

A Mathematical Sciences Curriculum in the Age of AI is a workshop part of the IMA’s Higher Education Teaching and Learning Series for 2025/26 to be held at University College London (UCL) on Monday, 1 June 2026.
The rapid development of generative AI is transforming what it means to study and apply mathematics and statistics. Tasks that were once thought of as fundamental for the discipline, including symbolic manipulation, computation, and even aspects of data analysis and interpretation, can now be automated or simulated. This raises a fundamental question: what is the purpose of a mathematics or statistics degree in the age of AI, and how should this shape what and how we teach?
In this workshop we will examine:

• What knowledge, skills, and habits of mind are still essential to the mathematical sciences?
• How should we be teaching, including the potential for AI to support deeper mathematical learning, and how do we help students develop productive, critical and ethical engagement with AI?

Keynote Speaker:

• Professor Michael Grove, University of Birmingham

Plenary Speakers:

• Dr Chris Birkbeck, University of East Anglia
• Dr Jenn Gaskell, University of Glasgow
• Dr Liz Munday, University College London

This event aims to keep up momentum from the recent The Future of Mathematics Higher Education event and produce concrete recommendations for curriculum change.

The workshop is co-organized by the and the . For any enquiries, please get in touch with Ruth Reynolds at [email protected] or Takoua Jendoubi at [email protected].
