My questions are 1) Is this something that is wanted? 2) Are there non homeschooling people that want to do this? 3) What other courses are wanted? GCSE? Degree Level etc. Etc. Obviously this can be applied to non homeschooling things but it sounds a good start.

Calling all home schoolers! I'm currently putting feelers out. I'm planning on starting small group courses on #ALevel Maths, Further Maths and University Admissions, with possibility of a short transition course with an experienced tutor. #homeschooling #maths

I am currently booking up for September and beyond so please get in touch!

Did I ever say, I love speaking? Thanks to @SwCornwall for having me speak about Topological Data Analysis at the Big Tech Showcase.

Tony Gardiner. via @thetimes A sad loss. “But, as Gardiner would have also said, while there is indeed a correct answer, that is not what’s important. The real test is the thinking that gets you there.”

@prof_g I took a course by Nick last year and this the most Trefethen thing ever. He is the best lecturer in the best way.

The 'Clarity Index' is a neat formula for working out how clear your writing is. In brief: CI = Average sentence length + % of words with more than two syllables. I've written more about it here: robeastaway.com/blog/clarity-i…

The TMiP conference, which takes place every two years, is now seeking host organisations to work with for our 2025 event. If you've enjoyed TMiP in the past, and think it'd be something your uni department/maths body would like to host, here's a form: bit.ly/tmip2025-cfp

@samholloway Was the cafe in question the Honey Pot?

"Cor," I thought to myself, "the playlist on this radio station they're playing [in a cafe in Penzance] is great. It's like the Dutch radio stations I used to listen to." It's Radio 10 Gold.

Student: What does dx in an integral mean? Me (thinking): It’s a smooth section of the exterior power of the cotangent bundle. Me (out loud): It’s a tiny change in x.

Every day I work on the code the closer it gets to producing something sensible. I love numerical analysis, just not the practical bit 🤣
