Maths in the Wild
Maths in the Wild consists of workshops designed for primary and secondary school students. Participants engage in interactive experiments and mathematical calculations, allowing them to experience firsthand how maths and science, mainly neuroscience, are applied in exploring and understanding our surroundings.
These workshops were created by Dr Nicole Beisiegel and Dr John Butler , who both teach mathematics at Technological University Dublin. John combines his knowledge of mathematics and neuroscience to create experiments and analysis techniques that let us explore the world. Nicole combines her knowledge of mathematics and the oceans to understand the natural world. The workshops were initially written for the TU Dublin Access and Outreach programme.
Workshops
Each workshop has a presentation, videos, some python code and worksheet with solutions, which are all freely available for anyone who wants to use and adapt them.
