My new book "Why Study Mathematics?" is published today! It's designed for students considering a maths degree, and their teachers and families. @LPPbooks and I would love it to reach as many students as possible, so please spread the word! Available from all good booksellers.

For women I can tag then in no particular order @VickyMaths1729 @angela_tabiri and @FryRsquared are all inspirational.
Emilie du Chatelet is a really interesting figure whose contribution is arguably overlooked or misattributed to others. The In Our Time on her is good

Thank-you for a fascinating listen @VickyMaths1729 Recommended to my A Level Further Maths students, along with Why Study Maths? Interesting how there are very common themes with @jimalkhalili The Life Scientific podcasts #MathsPlusCancer
Just thought I'd remind you about my #MathsPlusCancer podcast. If you'd like to hear from amazing researchers using maths and stats to tackle and understand cancer in creative ways, and hear their stories, I can help with that! oxford.shorthandstories.com/…

We're celebrating #InternationalWomensDay on 8 March in the best possible way, with coffee & cake & a book swap.
Book swap? Yes, we're asking our mathematicians to bring a book by or about a woman that has inspired them. Doesn't have to be a maths book.
What would you choose?
