We study maths and its applications using elementary bits of school maths. You need an enquiring, playful mind and simple arithmetic.
Topics have included:
- History – What maths can you see in ancient Babylonian stones?
- Simpson – How can Homer get worse value than Marge every day, but get better value overall?
- Primes – How might an ancient Greek sieve secure gold in a modern bank?
- Dating – How to choose the best possible spouse from seeing many in turn?
- Links – How to cross the bridges of Königsberg? How to join utilities to houses??
- Dice – How surprising they are!
We meet on Zoom.
