    Weekly
  • Length of course: 1 term. Autumn (10 Weeks)
  • Number of places: 12
  • Start date: 10 October 2024
  • Description:

    This course contains topics in maths which have always intrigued and delighted me. I will not be teaching "school maths" but instead will explore topics such as the Platonic Solids, Fibonacci series, Infinity, Binary counting, Probability, the Maths of Tuning. I often get asked 'but how is this relevant' so where possible I will explain. I hope those that take up this course will eventually agree with its title 'Maths can be fun'. No previous experience is required except a basic ability in arithmetic and an interest in numbers and problem solving. Please bring paper, pen, pencil, rubber, ruler.

  • Format: Taught course or activity

  • Tutor: Sarah Payne
  • I was a sixth form Maths teacher for most of my career and enjoy this opportunity to dip into non-syllabus topics with (usually!) an eager and responsive group.
