London Mathematical Society
Guest Speaker Addresses Sixth Form Maths Group
On Wednesday 19th October we were visited by Dr Simon Goodwin from the University of Birmingham’s School of Mathematics. Dr Goodwin ran a workshop for our Sixth Form mathematicians as part of the London Mathematical Society’s Holgate Workshop Scheme.
They were introduced to the wonders of number theory including the infinitude of the primes, Diophantine equations and Fermat’s Last Theorem. The Year 12 and 13 students left the session fully inspired to go out and find the next prime number or maybe, just maybe, to prove the Riemann Hypothesis!
