“The secret to architectural excellence," said Sir Christopher Wren, "is to translate the proportions of a dachshund into bricks, mortar and marble.” A lovely #MathsInMuseums moment spotted on the @[email protected] stand at the @[email protected] conference!

Off to London today! Going to the British Museum for secret #maths purposes!

^ That's squirreled away in a review for one of Chalkdust Magazine's shortlisted Books of the Year 2025*, and I think it deserves to be wandering the world on its own. Share if you agree! #MathsInMuseums #MathsToday * chalkdustmagazine.com/book-of-the-...

On Saturday I did a thing in a museum with a bunch of maths communicators (as part of #TMiP25). I'm going to write up what we found later, properly, but I wanted to quickly record that we did it: https://tkbriggs.co.uk/talking-maths-in-museums-in-public-in-coventry/

The other day I wondered if I'd find any #maths at Bolsover Castle. Well...

I know there aren't many people exploring the fediverse from the UK heritage sector, but worth a try: is anyone out there associated with a museum or gallery (etc) in Leeds?
I would like to connect with such people!

Today I contributed to a day of training for folks from museums across Scotland who are gearing up to take part in #MathsWeekScotland.
I was supposed to be giving the attendees ideas, but *they* were such an incredible source of inspiration, in terms of specific ideas but also with regards to attitudes and the general dream of the thing.

Oooh, this looks like a great opportunity for some #MathsInMuseums!

I'm in the @[email protected] cafe, having had a bit of a browse. They are *not yet* one of the Leeds museums I've got signed up for #CityOfMaths, but I'm hoping to wear them down eventually! If anyone wants to chat about the funding I've got for a #MathsInMuseums project I'm right here!

Last call for signed copies of *The Mathematicians' Library* posted in the UK before 𝑥mas!
Final posting date for 2nd class is this Wednesday (17th) and I'll be giving some #MathsInMuseums training then, so it needs to be today or tomorrow!

I've had lots of little conversations about #MathsInMuseums over the last 3 days at #GEMConference2025.
Next up is #MathsConf39 in October, where I'll be delivering a workshop on enriching maths lessons with history content.

I'll also say that if you took part in this #MathsInMuseums thing on Saturday morning at #TMiP25 and you haven't yet sent me your thoughts (possibly with supporting pictures) please do!

Thanks to everybody who took part in my #MathsInMuseums activity at #TMiP25 this morning. Some people have sent me some of the ideas they had, and I'm hoping a few more will when they've recovered from the conference!

I'm doing a #MathsInMuseums thing in Coventry this weekend. It's for people attending @TMiP but I will share findings.
In preparation, what mathematical themes have you already spotted at Coventry Transport Museum?
If you're associated with a different museum or gallery, you could get me to come and do something for you there, either as a public activity, or with a specific group (including your own staff as a training/ CPD thing)!

It didn't look new, but it was touchable and those things age quickly! I reckon so too. When I'm doing #MathsInMuseums training I try to get across the idea that I'm a maths expert but not a [whatever your story is] expert, which is why it's best for me to teach you how to spot mathsy threads...

This just arrived.
If anyone's thinking of pre-ordering, I should get a little commission if you buy from Amazon via this link: https://amzn.to/455Dnm0
My preference is that you'll support your local independent bookshop, though, if you're lucky enough to still have one.
