"Extraordinary Maths in Ordinary Places"

by Dr Joe Kyle, University of Birmingham
Suitable for ages 14+
Starting with a handful of everyday, mundane objects this talk will touch on some intriguing mathematics that can lurk in the background of everyday life. We'll cover unusual aspects of roundness and flatness, beauty and health, money, swings and what I see when I look in my kitchen dustbin!
Dr Joe Kyle is the Mathematics Co-ordinator for the Maths, Stats and OR Network, part of the Higher Education Academy.
