Welcome to Maths Inspiration. We want to inspire the next generation of mathematicians, engineers and other mathematical and numerate professionals.
Maths Inspiration is one of the largest maths enrichment programmes for teenagers
in the UK - in 2008/9 we attracted audiences of over 10,000! It's a chance for Year 11s and sixth formers to experience the UK's most inspiring maths
speakers live, in big venues, presenting mathematics in the context of exciting, real-world situations.We prefer to call our events shows rather than lectures, because they are lively, professionally run and entertaining. The format is almost always three speakers giving interactive talks on a diverse range of topics. On most occasions there will be one pure mathematician, one statistician and one engineer in the line-up.
There is always a lively Q&A session at the end of each show.
The content is ideal for Year 12s and for more motivated Year 11s.
Maths Inspiration recently featured on BBC Breakfast Television and you can see a video of the programme by clicking here. You can also read the feature article in The Guardian about Maths Inspiration and the impact it can have on schools by clicking here.
"Of all the events we've attended over the years this is the one I know will truly inspire"
