  1. ESGI 100 NOW That’s what I call Colemanballs 1 0 0 Mathematical Institute University of Oxford

  2. Colemanballs go global Only person (as far as I’m aware) to concurrently hold Colemanball prizes from three different continents COLIN BALLS ESGI 100 Mathematical Institute University of Oxford

  3. 1968, setting the scene We have a more naïve approach to thermodynamics….. ……and to science more generally • John Ockendon and John Hinch ESGI 100 Mathematical Institute University of Oxford

  4. 1970s (just all over the place) • We can apply this general formula to a circle and find its area to be…. ….. approximately r2/2 • Dominik Stürzer • Down is in this direction (points left) • SvennAnton Halvorsen • It works, but it doesn’t give the right result • Jacqueline Christmas ESGI 100 Mathematical Institute University of Oxford

  5. 1980s (number theory joins SG) • We need to have a big debate about whether ½ is big or small • Colin Please • F is so big it has to be zero • Colin Please • Now we look at the numbers and make them colourful • Nikolai Nowaczyk ESGI 100 Mathematical Institute University of Oxford

  6. 1990s (philosophy plays role) • A train – is that a point mass or is it larger than that? • David Leppinen • You can’t see the bottom…. ……because it’s beneath the top • Andrew Lacey • You cannot have an unknown constant….. …..in front of a constant you do not know • Vladimir Lapin ESGI 100 Mathematical Institute University of Oxford

  7. 2000s (runners up) • The problem is, we have a problem • Hilary Ockendon • This solution has no problem • Jeff Dewynne ESGI 100 Mathematical Institute University of Oxford

  8. 2014 (Golden Welly Winner) • What is the radius of the rectangle? • Piotr Ziolo ESGI 100 Mathematical Institute University of Oxford

  9. Reminiscing • I’ll tell you another thing that comes to mind on these occasions……… …..crumpet • John Ockendon • Have you ever laid on a fluidised bed? They’re man/woman sized. You reach critical fluidisation and your whole body starts to tingle • John Ockendon • Are we going to talk about John's fingering problem? • An anonymous student • with a name that rhymes with Do Malwadi ESGI 100 Mathematical Institute University of Oxford
