Python for A-Level Mathematics and Beyond, a talk by Stephen Lynch (Manchester Metropolitan University)
Abstract
Programming languages such as Scratch and Python are making more and more of an impact on school teaching around the world. Following the publications of the Blackett Review (Computational Modelling: Technological Futures) and the Bond Report (The Era of Mathematics – Review Findings on Knowledge Exchange in the Mathematical Sciences) in 2018, is it now time to introduce programming to Mathematics teachers, A-Level students, undergraduates and postgraduates in the UK?
