regular seminar Peter Rowlett (Sheffield Hallam University)
at: 13:30 - 14:30 KCL, Strand room: K0.50 abstract: | There are many ways to engage with mathematics, and therefore many different forms of maths engagement aimed at different audiences. A brief survey will present a range of different practices and encourage thought about target audience. We'll consider how to design effective outreach, and how informal engagement with maths before university can influence the decision to study maths at university. From a practical point of view, I will describe a programme of maths engagement for secondary school students implemented in local schools and on campus. Keywords: |
