Birmingham University Maths Taster Day

Birmingham University Maths Taster Day

Published Tuesday 12 July 2016 by kj

During the Y12 enrichment week, some of our mathematicians visited Birmingham University to get a taste of studying Mathematics. They experienced a sample lecture on 'randomness and bias in probability' followed by an intriguing lecture on 'graph theory' and 'graph colouring'. Students were then given the opportunity to have a tour of the campus before returning for a very open and honest Q&A session with current students. The day was rounded off with an excellent sample discussion class looking at 'game theory' - never challenge a mathematician to a game of 'Nim'.
