Venue: The Mall, School of Mathematics, University of Leeds
Andrew Jeffrey
the Mathemagician
What do The Rosetta Stone, Maths and Magic all have in common?
The Rosetta Stone changed our understanding of Ancient Egypt
completely. But what could it possibly have to do with maths, and
specifically how children learn it? Come along and find out! During this
talk, Andrew will explain his thinking behind what works, and why. He
will also play noughts and crosses, show you an impossible card trick,
and even attempt to predict the evening's Lottery Results!.
