Royal Institution Mathematics Masterclasses in Swansea (19 January 2009)

Launch of a new series of mathematics masterclasses in Wales

On Saturday 17th January 2009, a new series of mathematics masterclasses for gifted and talented pupils of mathematics from schools in Swansea and Carmarthenshire was launched by Dr Sara Santos, Clothworkers' Fellow in Mathematics, the Royal Institution.  The presentation intrigued and challenged pupils from years 9 and 10 by looking at what happens if Alice [from Lewis Carroll's classic book] takes a magic trip inside a conic arrangement of mirrors.  The series of masterclasses is supported by WIMCS, the RI, Swansea and Swansea Metropolitan Universities.  For more information, please visit the Schools page.
