SUMMARY:AMSP Maths on Trial with Coralie Colmez and Leila Schneps
DESCRIPTION:In the wrong hands\, maths can be deadly. Even the simplest numbers can become powerful forces when manipulated by politicians or the media\, but in the case of the law your liberty (and even your life) can depend on using the right mathematics. \nOur Winter Festival finale is brought to you by Leila Schneps and Coralie Colmez\, the truly inspiring mother and daughter co-authors of ‘Math on Trial: How Numbers Get Used and Abused in the Courtroom’. Leila is an American mathematician and fiction writer and works at French National Centre for Scientific Research on number theory. Coralie read mathematics at Cambridge University\, won the Ryan Prize in Higher Mathematics and is also Director and Co-Founder of the student destination platform\, Unifrog. \nDuring this enlightening talk\, Coralie will explore cases from the book with an emphasis on how to use them in the classroom. Leila will then delve into some new cases and demonstrate how to think about the world around us with an awareness of error. There will also be an opportunity to find out more about Unifrog and the extensive resources available for maths teachers and students. \nPlease note that this talk is 1.5 hours in order to provide plenty of time for questions at the end. If you are only able to attend from 4.30pm-5.30pm then you will still get to hear the full Maths on Trial talk. \nKey Facts\n\n\n\nEvent ref: #9144\n\n\n\n\nAudience: Teachers\n\n\n\n\nCurriculum focus: Core Maths\n\n\n\n\nMathematical focus: Statistics\, Problem Solving\n\n\n\n\nEvent format: Live Online Professional Development\n\n\n\n\nEvent length: 1.5 hours\n\n\n\n\nOnline sessions: 6\n\n\n\n\nRegion: National\n\n\n\n\nDate: Thu 27th Jan 2022\n\n\n\n\nCourse times: 16:30 – 18:00\n\n\n\n\nFee: Free for teachers in England

SUMMARY:AMSP How Not to be Wrong\, with Jordan Ellenberg
DESCRIPTION:In ‘How Not to be Wrong’\, Jordan presents the surprising revelations to a multitude of diverse questions such as: \n‘How early should you get to the airport?’ \n‘What does “public opinion” really represent?’ \n‘Why do tall parents have shorter children?’ \nIn his talk\, Jordan will debunk the view that the maths we learn at school is a dull set of rules\, laid down by the ancients\, not to be questioned. He will explore how maths touches everything we do and will allow us to see the hidden structures beneath the messy and chaotic surface of our daily lives. \nThis fascinating talk will ignite your curiosity and leave you with a host of responses to “when will I ever use that?” \nKey Facts\n\n\n\nEvent ref: #9106\n\n\n\n\nAudience: Teachers\n\n\n\n\nCurriculum focus: Core Maths\n\n\n\n\nMathematical focus: Problem Solving\n\n\n\n\nEvent format: Live Online Professional Development\n\n\n\n\nEvent length: 1 hour\n\n\n\n\nOnline sessions: 6\n\n\n\n\nRegion: National\n\n\n\n\nDate: Wed 26th Jan 2022\n\n\n\n\nCourse times: 16:30 – 17:30\n\n\n\n\nFee: Free for teachers in England

SUMMARY:LivMS Christmas Lecture - Online event
DESCRIPTION:Date: 15 Dec\, 2021\nTime: 14:00\nPresenter: Simon Singh\nTitle: Christmas Lecture: Fermat’s last theorem\nAudience: Year 11 up\nVenue: Online\nRegistration: Via the Eventbrite page for the event\nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/christmas-lecture-fermats-last-theorem-tickets-168104628469\nContact: Peter Giblin\n\n\nSimon Singh https://simonsingh.net/ \, best-selling author of “Fermat’s Last Theorem”\, talks about the most notorious problem in the history of mathematics. \n  \nRarely can a scribbled note in a margin have provoked so much mathematical curiosity as Pierre de Fermat‘s infamous conjecture\, discovered after his death\, that no three positive whole numbers a\,a\, b\,b\, and cc satisfy the equation anan + bnbn = cncn for any whole-number value of nn greater than 2. \nFermat claimed to have a proof\, but left no record of it\, stating only that the margin was too small to contain it. This unproven result became known as Fermat’s Last Theorem. Generations of mathematicians tried and failed across more than three centuries to prove the general case\, though it was proved for numerous particular values of nn (even by Fermat for nn = 4). Finally in 1994\, Andrew (later Sir Andrew) Wiles announced to the world that the problem was solved\, though there were some gaps which were filled by Wiles and his former student Richard Taylor. \nSimon Singh made an award-winning documentary about this achievement and also wrote a best-selling book. In this lecture\, he will talk us through the history of Fermat’s Last Theorem and give us an idea of how it was eventually proved using ground-breaking new mathematics.

SUMMARY:LivMS Popular Lecture - Online event
DESCRIPTION:Date: 18 Nov\, 2021\nTime: 17:00-18:00\nPresenter: Chris Pritchard\nTitle: Great Mathematical Diagrams\nAudience: Year 11 up\nVenue: TBC (either in-person or online depending on circumstances)\nRegistration: Via the Eventbrite page for the event\nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/great-mathematical-diagrams-tickets-169822771481\nContact: Peter Giblin\n\n\nChris Pritchard is the 2021-22 President of the Mathematical Association. \nThe talk is a journey through mathematical diagrams\, some famed for their importance and longevity\, some critical for the information they convey and many of them just plain clever. Join me for a look at a range of visual material from the Bride’s Chair of Euclid’s Elements to the Königsberg bridges and from Playfair’s pie chart to Anscombe’s salutary lesson\, whilst also enjoying some “proofs without words” which can be deployed profitably in the classroom.

DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday 13 Oct\, 2021\nTime: 17:00-18:00\nPresenter: Colva Roney-Dougal\nTitle: Party hard! The maths of connections\nAudience: Year 11 up\, teachers and all interested in mathematics\nVenue: Online\nContact: Peter Giblin\nRegistration: Via the Eventbrite page for the event\nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/party-hard-the-maths-of-connections-tickets-168099561313\n\n\n  \nHow many guests need to come to a party\, to guarantee that either at least five of them all know each other or at least five are mutual strangers? This question turns out to be surprisingly hard to solve\, and has led to the creation of some maths that feels more like a newspaper puzzle than real work. We’ll explore connections ranging from friendship\, through marriage\, to the spread of infectious diseases.

SUMMARY:AMSP Winter Core Maths Festival\, Angela Saini
DESCRIPTION:Minority-ethnic health and racial disparity\, Angela Saini \nSaturday 23 January\, 09:30-10:30 \nVenue: ONLINE  – 09:30AM \nAudience: 16+ and all those interested in mathematics \nAttendance is free but you should apply here:  https://forms.mei.org.uk/core-maths-festival/7978 \nContent\nSpeaker: Angela Saini\n \nWe are honoured that Angela Saini\, award-winning science journalist\, author and broadcaster is taking part in our Winter Core Maths Festival. This year she was named one of the world’s top 50 thinkers by Prospect Magazine and her books\, Superior\, Inferior and Geek Nation have received widespread critical acclaim. \n“It has taken a pandemic to put the issue of minority-ethnic health at the top of the agenda.” What does the data say about racial disparity and health and how has this been reported? Angela will explore this question and other aspects of her research. In addition\, she will take us on a tour of the darker side of the origins of the statistical techniques we teach our students today. \nWe hope you will leave enlightened and with increased confidence to tackle challenging contexts in the classroom.

SUMMARY:AMSP Winter Core Maths Festival\, Rob Eastaway
DESCRIPTION:Algorithms; Mathematical models; Statistical analysis and sport! Rob Eastaway \nThursday 21 January\, 16:30-17:30 \nVenue: ONLINE  – 16:30PM \nAudience: 16+ and all those interested in mathematics \nAttendance is free but you should apply here:  https://forms.mei.org.uk/core-maths-festival/7977 \nContent\nSpeaker: Rob Eastaway\n \nAlgorithms; Mathematical models; Statistical analysis. These Core Maths skills are more relevant today than they have ever been. And one of the most engaging ways to learn about them is through sport! \nYou may not realise this\, but Maths Inspiration guru and author of eleven books\, Rob Eastaway\, has been instrumental in developing the way in which sporting performance has been measured throughout the world. With examples that range from football to tennis\, cricket to darts\, Rob will explore the maths of sport\, revealing how analytical techniques are used to rank the world’s top performers\, improve player strategies\, and make contests fairer. \nWhether you are a sports nut\, just somebody who occasionally watches a big match on TV or not interested in sport at all\, this fascinating talk will give you insights into what sport can teach us about ranking and decision making in every walk of life.
