MATHS IN THE CITY

The role of maths in our everyday world
is the focus of a project headed by Marcus
du Sautoy, Simonyi Professor for the
Public Understanding of Science.
The ‘Maths in the City’ project launched in
April with a competition in which entrants
identified examples of maths in urban
contexts and created web
pages to share their findings.

Starting in 2012, Professor du Sautoy
and a team of volunteer mathematicians
from Oxford will develop walking tours of
Oxford and London taking the public on
mathematical adventures of the cities. The
project is produced and managed by the
Department’s Technology–Assisted Lifelong
Learning (TALL) unit.
