Not a talk about how to find love on the internet but more about what 2016 has to offer and some ideas on how to communicate a love of mathematics to our students.
Open to all and especially to mathematics teachers and teachers in training.
The speaker, Ron Knott, has been a lecturer in the Departments of Mathematics and Computing Science at the University of Surrey, Guildford, UK, for 19 years until September 1998 when he left to start working for himself making web pages for maths education sites.
