The Joint London Mathematical Society/Gresham College Annual Lecture: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/geometry-a-new-weapon-in-the-fight-against-viruses

Viruses like the common cold look like tiny footballs and mathematics can therefore help to understand how they form and evolve. Our highly interdisciplinary approach in understanding and combating viruses, in which mathematics plays a key role, provides surprising new avenues in our fight against viral disease.

The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/geometry-a-new-weapon-in-the-fight-against-viruses

Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being made available for free download from our website. There are currently over 1,800 lectures free to access or download from the website.
