Come for the maths and stay for the ethical discussions. :)

This term we are repeating 'The Maths of Data Science and AI' PD course for A level Maths teachers. You can learn about the maths in AI and how to integrate this into your #ALevelMaths lessons. It's free and there's a £350 bursary for attending the study day! amsp.org.uk/event/b23514...

It's done! And ahead of schedule... (for once!) A fully revised 2026 version of the Risps PDF eBook is now available for free, from www.risps.co.uk and from Payhip. payhip.com/b/RGKPF An early Ch-risp-mas present? With best wishes of the season, Jonny

Controversial opinion: I think "Math" sounds better than "Maths", even though I'm British. The "th" followed by "s" sound is really clumsy.

Don’t miss out on your chance to apply for a bursary to attend the MEI Conference 2026. Two bursaries available! Deadline: 31 Dec 2025 Apply now: buff.ly/eP4NZ46 #MEIConf26 #Bursary #SciStudio

Some quotes from teachers on the AMSP 'The Maths of Data Science and AI' course: "Relevant to day-to-day course teaching - immediate impact on students" "The study day was amazing" "Inspiriational" You can sign up now for the spring course at: amsp.org.uk/event/b23514...

How would you explain why this works to a 5-year-old? Please ELI5 - explain like I'm five! #iTeachMath #MathChat

"τ is the hipster circle constant" It's the second math(s) thing that's made me chuckle today - the first being "chi-squared goddess of fit tests" from @maria-naturalmath.bsky.social

Bookings for the AMSP spring term 'Maths into Data Science and AI' for students not studying A level Maths will close tomorrow. It's a 9-week online course in using Python for data, machine learning and AI but not previous coding experience is needed. amsp.org.uk/event/b08828...

One of the really frustrating things about the current situation is how 'AI' has become more or less synonymous with 'LLM'.

These type of stories are so important to emphasise that AI built on machine learning is so much bigger than large language models

This AI = machine learning. Basically, Zanskar trains AI models on huge volumes of satellite and geological data (etc.) to narrow down candidate geothermal sites. A great example of AI that's nothing to do with large language models / chatbots.

We've had lots of interest in the 'Maths into Data Science and AI' course for non-A level Maths students It's ideal for students of Core Maths or A level Computer Science Bookings for the spring term course close on Fri 5 Dec: amsp.org.uk/event/b08828...

Because integration isn't reverse differentiation, integration is area. And to find an area, the function has to be well-behaved (technically, integrable) across an interval. So if we know its value at a point, to know it at any other point we need it to be integrable on the interval between them.

I know this one is maybe a bit "ooh, look at me, I'm so clever", but -i really bothers me. The fact that we define one number to be the square root of -1, and then define another number to be the negative of it, despite it having exactly the same properties, that just niggles the hell out of me.

In differential equations I've always taught that the particular solution is only valid for the branch the point is on eg for dy/dx=1/x² the partic soln thro' (1,0) is y=1-1/x (x>0) x<0 is not included I've never liked my explanation of why. Does anyone have a good one for #ALevelMaths students?

Do your students see maths as just an answer‑finding exercise? With the right approach using their calculators, we can shift that mindset. Dive into how teacher modelling can spark deeper understanding. education.casio.co.uk/blog/how-mod...
