MSP Wales are running an exciting series of pre-recorded presentations which will enable year 13 students to bridge towards studying STEM subjects at University. There is rarely time during the school teaching framework to see how differential equations can be used to model epidemics; or to investigate how Complex Numbers generate the amazing Mandelbrot set. The present course is opportunity to link up with Higher Education to benefit from their deep knowledge of the subject and their intimate familiarity with university-level mathematics. The programme is recommended to any students considering taking a maths-rich degree in September 2025.
Most talks are prepared by mathematics academics and a few talks consider other stem discipline where mathematics plays an important role, such as physics, computer science or engineering. Each session will be pre-recorded and approximately 30 minutes long. They will be released as per the attached booklet and each made available for a limited time. There will be an opportunity for students to ask the lecturer questions about the presentation by email.
Teachers can collate the details of the interested students and register here: https://hub.furthermaths.wales/book-event.php?event_id=15 to distribute the videos to their students themselves or students can register themselves to receive these directly https://hub.furthermaths.wales/student-consent.php?event_id=51
