Hannah Fry (born 21 February 1984)[1] is a British mathematician, lecturer on the Mathematics of Cities, television presenter and public speaker. Her work includes studying the patterns of human behaviour, such as relationships and dating and how mathematics can apply to them.

Early life

Fry is of Irish descent.[2] She attended Presdales School in Ware, Hertfordshire.[3] Fry studied mathematics at University College London[4] and stayed there to obtain a doctorate in fluid dynamics. In 2011 she qualified for the doctorate with a thesis entitled "A Study of Droplet Deformation".[5]

Broadcasting

Fry regularly appears on radio and television in the UK, including in Computing Britain,[6] The Curious Cases of Rutherford & Fry[7] (with Adam Rutherford) and Music By Numbers. In the BBC 2 series City in the Sky, [8] Fry studies the logistics of aviation. She has expressed concern about the future of the aviation industry, speculating that switching to electric planes or downsizing aircraft size may be a suitable long-term alternative.[4]

On 30 March 2014, Fry gave a TED talk at TEDxBinghamtonUniversity[9] titled "The Mathematics of Love," which has attracted over 4.3 million views.[10] Following the TED talk she published a book on the topic, The Mathematics of Love: Patterns, Proofs, and the Search for the Ultimate Equation, in which she applies statistical and data-scientific models to dating, sex and marriage.[11]

On 17 September 2015 Fry presented a film biography of Ada Lovelace for BBC television.[12]

In 2016, Fry co-presented the television programme Trainspotting Live with Peter Snow, a three-part series about trains and trainspotting, for BBC 4.[13] She also hosted The Joy of Data, which examines the history of data and how they affect us today.[14] A further credit for the year was her co-hosting an episode of UK TV series Horizon with Dr Xand van Tulleken titled "How to Find Love Online".[15]

In 2017, Fry presented an episode of Horizon titled 10 Things You Need to Know About the Future.[16] The following year, she presented Contagion! The BBC Four Pandemic, a programme about the possible impact of a flu pandemic.[17]

Fry has featured in several videos for a YouTube mathematics channel, Numberphile, run by Brady Haran.[18] She has also made an appearance on his podcast, The Numberphile Podcast. [19]

Hannah Fry hosted a one-off 90-minute special of the BBC science programme Tomorrow's World along with four presenters from the show’s original run, Maggie Philbin, Howard Stableford, Judith Hann and Peter Snow. The show was broadcast at 9pm on BBC 4 on 22 November 2018.[20]

Publications

Fry has published three books. The first, The Mathematics of Love, includes the "37% rule", a form of the secretary problem according to which roughly the first third of any potential partners should be rejected. The second, The Indisputable Existence of Santa Claus (co-authored with fellow mathematician, Thomas Oléron Evans), discusses various Christmas-related topics and how mathematics can be involved in them, including a fair Secret Santa, decoration of Christmas trees, winning at Monopoly, and comparing the vocabulary of the Queen's Christmas message to Snoop Dogg.[4] Her third book is Hello World: How Algorithms Will Define Our Future and Why We Should Learn to Live with It. It looks at the impact of algorithms that affect lives.

Personal life

Fry lives in Lewisham, southeast London with her husband and one child.[21][22] In April 2019 she revealed on BBC Radio 2 that she was expecting a second child, a daughter, in May 2019.

Awards

On 8 August 2018, the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications and London Mathematical Society announced that Fry had won the 2018 Christopher Zeeman Medal "for her contributions to the public understanding of the mathematical sciences".[23]
