What Talks and workshops on mathematical subjects
Members

The London MathSpace is a group which meets every other Friday to discuss mathematics. We host talks followed by questions and discussion.

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 - Friday 06 Feb 2015

Our next MathSpace event will be held on Friday the 6th of February from 18:30 onwards in the classroom.

For this event, we are holding a Project Euler problem solving evening.

Project Euler is a website which hosts over 500 problems which require mathematics and programming to solve. We are getting together on Friday to work together on these problems.

If you haven't done much programming before, then these problems are an excellent way to learn to program - we will have MathSpace members on hand to help you work get started.

If you are an accomplished programmer or have worked on Project Euler before, then come along and we can attempt some of the most difficult problems together.

And if you are in the middle, come along and work on some problems in the middle.

As usual, there will also be cake.

Hope to see you all there!
