About Tom Crawford

Dr Tom Crawford is a mathematician at the University of Oxford and the face of the award-winning 'Tom Rocks Maths’ YouTube channel. You may also recognise him from Numberphile, where he is often found talking all things fluid dynamics, or sharing some of the interview questions he uses for the Oxford admissions process.

When not misbehaving with numbers, Tom is likely playing football, snowboarding or getting a new maths tattoo (15 and counting…).
