Teachers! We're running a day of year 12 maths workshops on 25th June on campus in Sheffield city centre. Bring a group? They'll see the university campus and enjoy taking part in maths workshops run by university lecturers.

Want to hear two nerds chatting about maths history?
You're in luck!
Ben Cornish invited me onto *The Mathematicians Podcast* to talk about *The Mathematicians' Library*: https://mathematicians.podbean.com/e/episode-55-injective-thomas-k-briggs-on-the-mathematicians-library/

Reading ancient languages takes a lot of time, effort, experience, & other things involved in learning so it's *really* difficult for kids (or most adults) to engage with ancient texts on historical objects in museums...
... Except there's a relatively quick win, if a little infrastructure is put in place to take advantage of it:
*Numbers.*
Ancient civilizations had their own unique ways of presenting and manipulating numbers, but recognising, extracting, and converting them to a more familiar number system is a process which has a very low entry point and a massively high ceiling. It's a fantastic opportunity for any museum with examples of ancient numbers amongst its collection to give visitors the feeling of being a time-travelling codebreaker, unraveling the mysteries of ancient writing.
Bonus: engaging with ancient number systems in this way can prompt deeper thinking about and engagement with the number system that a visitor considers "the normal one", which can support their learning of contemporary mathematics.

We're watching The X-Files from the beginning. They're both so very pretty, with great hair and *massive* shoulder pads.
When it was first aired in the UK I was 11 and very into the paranormal. That interest, catalysed by The X-Files and some other TV, movies, & books, pushed me towards a love of science and, later, mathematics, so The X-Files definitely helped to bring present-day Tom into existence!
