We want to show people that mathematics is more than just facts and figures, or a subject in school: it's an activity open to all, and one that can be exciting, rewarding, fun, and social, as well as useful. Our enthusiastic staff and students strive to communicate the beauty of mathematics to a broad audience in a variety of settings, including workshops for local school students and events at the Edinburgh Science Festival. For families and students We provide opportunities for families and individual students to engage with mathematics outside the classroom. For general audiences We want to share the magic of mathematics with as many people as possible. In collaboration with external partners, we contribute to many activities that are free and open to the public. For schools We organize a wide range of events for schools throughout the year including talks, workshops, exhibits, and hands-on activities. Online Resources Here is a selection of digital resources and videos for children of different ages that span multiple topics. Feel free to download these resources for school or individual use. Upcoming events We deliver numerous events for a variety of audiences throughout the year. See which ones you can get involved in via this page.
