Not been to the new MathsWorld in London yet?
Come along on the evening of Thursday 29th Jan. I'm doing a talk on the maths of Shakespeare's London and it's also a chance to play with all the puzzles and exhibits. mathsworld.com/events/Shake...
Someone (or specifically Yves Chamberland) has made this lovely piece of music called "Squaring the Circle" with a bit of my voice in it. I love that sort of thing. And here is it www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOMZ...
I'll plug this event again which is happening tonight for anyone who wants to spontaneously come to my talk tonight.
Come visit Maths World London @mathsworld.com our new maths discovery centre in that London. It's good. But here's the main thing, I'm doing a talk there Tuesday night (11/11) - so come to that, see the centre, see the enigma, see me do a talk. Wow! Tickets here www.eventbrite.com/e/meet-the-t...
At @TMiP some people from Durham presented their project "Young Minds, Big Maths".
It's a collection of resources to help talk about maths in early years settings.

What a nice project!
Tom Lehrer RIP. I went through a big Tom Lehrer phase at one point. And him being a mathematician was just incidental, but also fun. What shall I share on the event of his passing? One of his satirical songs? One of his maths songs? Nah, I'll share this with everybody www.youtube.com/watch?v=2t7p...

(I also watched them all).
Back in the dark days of 2020, me and some other maths YouTube people did a MegaFavNumber project where we asked people to make a video about their favourite number over 1 million. We had 277 entries and this guy has watched them all and made a video about it youtu.be/5YiD0wjEWeo?...
Do you have a spare 3-4 minutes to be part of a daft online thing? We're collecting YouTube videos of people saying chunks of digits of the recently discovered Mersenne prime - and we'll keep going until we've got them all (or they find another one). Find out more at saytheprime.com
Inspire your Y7 -10 students this June and July with my virtual show Summer Celebration: Mathematical Surprises. An interactive Zoom show at specific times, or watch a recorded version at any time. Spread the word! More at: think-maths.co.uk/summer-celeb...
This is presented as shenanigans, but I think it's actually fine.

I love the demos Christian makes. He's done a couple for me and they were really good.
Our first MAP MEN BOOK, coming this October is *already* available to pre-order.

Imagine the bliss of getting your Christmas shopping out of the way 9 months early. 🗺️ 📕
And what a line-up of speakers. They're all the best.
What an event. We had 700 y12/y13 students batting around giant inflatable dice for legitimate mathematical reasons. I loved it.
Thank you! We had a great time too!
Spread the word to Maths teachers. I'm not at these shows, but I'm spreading the word anyway. #UKMathsChat
