Read our blog post about Ramanujan here. trinitycollegelibrarycambridge.wordpress.com/2020/04/24/r...

Born #OnThisDay in 1887 was Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. Despite having almost no training in mathematics, he is regarded as one of the greatest mathematicians of all time. He became one of the youngest Fellows in the Royal Society's history when he was elected in 1918 at the age of 31.

The Oxgordshire Youth Maths Conference was fantastic - but then I would say that, so here's Helen saying it so you can believe it! #MathsToday #UKMathsChat PS if you're in a secondary school in Oxfordshire, let me know if you're interested in attending next year.

#MathsToday #ALevelMaths #FurtherMaths Find the exact value of the green area.

Here's our #OCRMathsPuzzle to end this week. 🙂 The vertices of a square just touch four edges of a regular octagon, as below. The area of the square is 32 cm^2. Work out the area of the regular octagon. #MathsToday #UKMathsChat #RecreationalMath #geometry #area

Maclaurin Series in #ALevelMaths #FurtherMaths #MathsToday, so we're building animations using @desmos.com. Here's my effort: www.desmos.com/calculator/z...

A bonus area problem for the end of the week, inspired by a post by @mrlevmaths.bsky.social. Important info from the alt-text: the curve is a parabola. #ALevelMaths #MathsToday

The call for peer reviewers is very real - if you teach maths at the upper end of school through to early university and are interested in maths content useful to people like you, please get in touch via [email protected] - thanks! #MathsToday #UKMathsChat #ALevelMaths #MathToday #MathSky

In #MathsToday I made 40 A Level teachers colour in representations of the binomial distribution. This is your regular reminder that if you teach #ALevelMaths you should definitely try to join your local Maths Hub’s A Level Pedagogy group. There is some brilliant stuff going on all over England.

Lots of SMC practice in #MathsToday.

First @NCTM.org yearbook (1926) here: catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/00006... An interesting take on quadratics! "Nor should we expect to have all the pupils able to factor ax^2+bx+c (a useless accomplishment for most people)" "If the subject is to be valuable, the learning should be a pleasure"

Am off to Kraków soon for a talk on Thursday as part of @unsoundfestival.bsky.social — awesome music festival (with talking bits too). www.unsound.pl/en/unsound-w...
