MathsWorldUK

In 2018 I became CEO of MathsWorldUK, a registered charity which aims to establish the UK's first interactive Mathematics Discovery Centre. The Centre will show that maths is to be enjoyed and explored by everyone and that it is at the cutting edge of innovation in most sectors. All information is at MathsWorldUK's website

Perplex

So that people could get their hands on some real problem solving and fun puzzles I created the app Perplex with the UKMT. The puzzle can be played online or via an app.

Beat the Brain!

In 2015 some members of the Maths and Statistics dept entered the BBC game show Beat the Brain. See how Weapons of Maths Instruction got on.

Open Learn

My OpenLearn articles are available on my OpenLearn Porfile.

There is an aritcle about the the ubiquitous nature of mathematics and, amongst other things, information on a cunning way to gamble to win.

Other articles

An article about my Statistics Shame appeared in the ATM journal.
