@Whitehughes I am with Rodrigo below that we can make too much of this difference, because I found some undergrads had 'overlearnt' that a series was not a sequence and then got worried about investigating the convergence of a sequence of partial sums.

@ProfSmudge Agree - the change from portrait to landscape was not great.

My granddaughter is 1 : what will she learn in school? The RS suggests principles and the start of a 10-15 year plan for mathematics and data education.

[The Royal Society @royalsociety]

Our Mathematical Futures programme is considering what mathematical competencies will be needed in the future and how the education system must reform to meet those needs. A new discussion paper, 'A new approach to mathematics and data education', offers stakeholders an opportunity to engage in the discussion. Read more: https://t.co/ThLCgVryZ0

@marksubbarao But it looks the same to me and its very good.

My three highlights from @sciencemuseum Science Fiction. #1 Instantly recognisable from childhood TV.

@marksubbarao I can't promise the one they show is exactly your visualisation. It struck me when I visited and then I Internet searched when I got home and found yours which was the same concept.
