John Norbury

John Norbury is an applied mathematician associated with the University of Oxford, where his university page lists his research, teaching, and publications. He is also the coauthor, with Ian Roulstone, of Invisible in the Storm: The Role of Mathematics in Understanding Weather, a book published by Princeton University Press.

His public-facing work stands out for making mathematics feel approachable and useful. Rather than treating the subject as something remote, his writing connects it to forecasting, fluid motion, and the way scientists make sense of complex natural systems.

That combination of academic depth and clear explanation makes his books especially appealing to listeners who enjoy science, weather, and the hidden structure behind everyday life.
