Aberystwyth Mathematics Club Outreach Activities

Aberystwyth Mathematics Club welcomes visits by schools/colleges, and is equally happy to bring an event to you. A typical programme lasts about two hours (including lunch) and comprises a mixture of taster talks (introducing students to university mathematics), presentations by students on how to use a mathematics degree, and interactive problem solving sessions. See below for a sample programme. People active in the AMC have been involved in a number of Welsh medium events: please see below.
