Outreach

Starting this year, I am the local organiser for the Coventry branch of MathsJamLink opens in a new window. This is an opportunity for maths enthusiasts from the local community to get together once a month and socialise. If you've come across any fun puzzles you'd like to share, if you're interested in mathematical arts and crafts, or if you just want to have a pint and a good time with some friends, then come along to the Dirty Duck at 7pm, on the second-to-last Tuesday of each month! Note that I will be away for the Christmas holidays, so our next gathering will take place on the 20th of January. I hope to see you there! If you would like to be included in our mailing list, please let me know.
