Mathematics
Each meeting deals with a mathematical topic, usually presented by a member of the group. Recent and forthcoming topics include prime numbers, topology, puzzles and pastimes, triangles whose sides and areas are whole numbers, squaring the circle, the philosophy of maths, maths and the arts, circle packing, and probability. There is usually a lively discussion. Some topics extend over two meetings but otherwise we are not following a curriculum but dealing with subjects that interest us and of which at least one member knows something. Some sessions assume familiarity with standard mathematical notation.
We meet on the first Thursday of each month starting at 10am, usually at the home of a member. You are welcome to come along and sample a session.
