[[[>60 !! #COVID-19#UPDATE#15JAN2021# Following the successful Zoom lecture by Aoife Hunt, the Christmas lectures by Yolanda Ohene and Colin Wright were a great success with at least 429 participants. Arrangements have been made for the Presidential lectures by Anna Pratoussevitch and Gaynor Bahan to be given by Zoom during March and April 2021 (see announcement on the left). The Open Challenge paper has been circulated as usual and is also available for download at DOC:OpenChallenge_2021_Questions.pdf; there will be no prizegiving evening at UoL but we hope to hold an online event. The Pop Maths Quiz will take place #online,# probably on Saturday 6 March. If you are a teacher who wishes to register an interest in entering teams or you require further information, please go to Event_20210306_PopMathsQuiz. Since we shall not be receiving our usual sponsorship this year, we have an #urgent#requirement#for#new#members.# Please join the Society if you possibly can. Further information appears below and on the Membership page. The FunMaths Roadshow also remains on sale.
