Our first meetup of the year is just around the corner... If your New Years' resolutions for 2024 include solving more problems and puzzles, or hanging out with a bunch like-minded self-confessed maths enthusiasts, come  join us at the Craft Embassy from 7pm Tuesday 16th Jan!

Edinburgh @mathsjam will be back as usual on Tuesday 23rd January at 7pm in the Brass Monkey on Drummond St (very near Blackwell’s). Just look out for the sheep.

Don't forget that in December, MathsJams often meet a week earlier to avoid meeting too close to Christmas - check your local Jam at mathsjam.com to make sure!
