I'm running Merry Mathsmas again this year (interactive, hands-on, festive virtual workshop for mixed-ability KS3). Nice to see lots of regular attendees and new schools on the bookings list...but there are tickets left! Visit: https://t.co/D2zzEWIJS6

[Ben Sparks @SparksMaths]

Would you like me to run a maths workshop or talk at your school in 2025? The @LondMathSoc has grants available to help fund mathematical enrichment and communication. Get in touch if you'd like to discuss options!

Love this new song by @RichardElwes - The Hyperbolic Hyperboloid Blues, recorded live at MathsCity

[Richard Elwes @RichardElwes]

New song! The Hyperbolic Hyperboloid Blues, live at @MathsCityLeeds.

Thanks to Ian Crewe for lending me his guitar skills, @SamHartburn for organising an excellent evening, and @k_houston_math for the camera-work.

[Sam Hartburn @SamHartburn]

...which brought the whole idea of writing maths songs (or any songs, or making any sort of music, tbh) into my life, for which I'm incredibly grateful.

[Sam Hartburn @SamHartburn]

I forgot to mention @MathsTechnology, who also helped a lot in advance and on the night, but more importantly Tom, @SparksMaths and @philsmaths started MathsJamJam in the first place...

[Sam Hartburn @SamHartburn]

Massive thank you to @gavanfantom, @RichardElwes, @samholloway and @DaveHartburn, who did huge amounts of work both in advance and on the night, @icecolbeveridge and @theclairodactyl for all their support, and @CurlyFriedMaxMH and @MathsCityLeeds for providing a wonderful venue.

[Sam Hartburn @SamHartburn]

There can't be many venues that provide a range of mathematical toys for guests to play with in the interval! I had an absolute blast at MathsCity yesterday. Thank you to everyone who came and took part.

[MathsCity @MathsCityLeeds]

A massive thank you to the amazing @SamHartburn for hosting the Maths Music Night at MathsCity last night… What a band!
