Thanks for coming back to visit us! Former pupil and current Undergraduate Maths Scholarship holder said: "Clifton College’s Pre-Uni maths course last term was amazing preparation for uni! It is really helping; in some cases the lessons were clearer than my actual uni lectures!"

We've had unprecedented traffic this morning on HegartyMaths and we know it's having trouble coping. The @HegartyTeam are on the case and spinning up several new app servers right now to help.

The inaugural Clifton College Pi Day Competition took place yesterday - the competitors had fun solving pi-themed puzzles while enjoying some pie. Well done to Moberly's who were victorious and to North Town who were runners up! Happy Pi Day!

Happy Pi Day! Pi Fun Fact: Below is the 'series expansion' (i.e. polynomial version) of inverse tan. Noting that inverse tan of 1 is 45 degrees = pi/4 radians, we end up with pi = 4(1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 + 1/9 - ...), i.e. one [bad] method of getting the digits of pi! #PiDay

The @CliftonMaths department is all set to celebrate Pi Day! The main event is at lunchtime today - stay tuned. #haveyougotanypi #PiDay
