The London MathSpace is a group which meets every other Friday to discuss mathematics. We host talks, problem-solving and programming events.
All our events are held at London Hackspace, 447 Hackney Road.
If you would like to do a talk or have any ideas for an event, please say so here or on our mailing list.
Next Event

| Hosted by MathSpace |
| At this fortnight's event, we will be analysing election data.
Come along and learn how to use R to make infographics showing trends in the data. Or look for trend in the polls and try to predict next week's results. As a starting point, we have gathered links for data from the 2010 election and polls data in the run up to next week. You can find that data here. If that's not good enough, there will be cake! |
