Yesterday, 21 Maths students from the Lower Sixth attended the Maths in Action lectures at the Emmanuel Centre.
Simon Singh talked about Fermat’s last theorem, puzzles were posed, mathematical modelling in the science of disease was explained and exam technique explored. Mrs Chetwood’s highlight was Tim Harford promoting the importance of interpreting statistics to face the truth, while the pupil favourite was probably the maths behind video games.
