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.

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.
