IS MATHS REAL?
Starts 27th January, 12.30-2pm
Description
Eugenia Cheng is a mathematician who was interviewed by Kathryn Ryan on National radio in 2024. (Check out the interview or Google her.) In this practical course we explore her ideas about how "how simple questions can lead us to mathematics' deepest truths". We laugh together because exploring ideas and stretching our brains is fun as long as we are not stressed. Please also see Elaine’s other course “Games and Chat” in the lifestyle section, which alternates weeks with this one.
