TOMORROW!

Join us for the online LMS Maths Communication Workshop.

Mathematicians and maths communicators Ben Sparks and Katie Steckles will lead these interactive training sessions, covering the skills and techniques required to communicate maths effectively. They will also share their expertise in delivering interactive and engaging sessions.

Each workshop is limited to 20 people and is open to anyone who participates, or wants to participate, in public engagement and communication activities in maths. You’ll have the chance to hear and share advice, discuss the principles behind good engagement, and develop your own maths engagement ideas.

Very nice to see Dame Mary Cartwright honoured with a blue plaque at her former home, 38 Sherlock Close, Cambridge, where she lived for more than 20 years.

Dame Mary was one of the most eminent British mathematicians of the 20th century and the first woman to serve as president of the LMS.

Mary Cartwright's city home now sports a plaque honouring her trailblazing work.
