Do bowling balls float? How could you figure it out using maths? This demonstration lecture will dispel the perception that maths is difficult and boring!
For many students maths is just a jumble of numbers and alien concepts; for others it is a series of interesting patterns, sequences and a source of fascination.
This hands-on overview of quirky numbers, predictable primes, fascinating fractions, interesting tables, amazing anagrams, super squares, and perplexing problems will awaken an interest in mathematics.
The RDS Science Live Demonstration Lecture Series takes science out of the classroom and focuses on the interactive, practical elements of a subject in order that the students gain as much from the experience as possible.
