A massive thanks to Keisha and Andi for running their "A Skirt In Suspense" activity over February half term!
It was inspiring seeing everyone's skirt designs, from rigid hemispheres to a web of modular triangles 📐

Happy International Day of Mathematics! 🎉
Today, staff at MathsCity 3D printed an aperiodic monotile cookie cutter from the resources on the @idm314 International Day of Mathematics website to make these tasty non-repeating snacks! 🍪
What a great Leonardo Dome 😍 Thank you @brownhillleeds for your visit, it was amazing to see your students exploring, discovering, and solving our hands-on exhibits!
Explore the effects of waves on different densities of fluid with our new "Internal Waves" exhibit!
These waves, otherwise known as gravity waves, can be found all around Our Chaotic Earth, from the layers of our oceans to in-between atmospheric strata.

Take two polynomials:
A: 0x³+1x²+0x+1
B: 1x³+1x²+1x+0
The coefficients A: 0101
B: 1110 are binary numbers. So the arithmetic of polynomials is the same as the arithmetic of numbers in finite fields. It’s a beautiful human and mathematical story 👉🏼 https://t.co/4BWmF8DXTk
