We received an email from the BBC:

Hi,

I work for a BBC Radio 4 programme called 'More or Less'. It's all about
numbers and I'm trying to find a female maths student who could give an
entertaining defence of being a girl who's into numbers. Is there anyone
who springs to mind?

Thanks a lot.

Regards,

Ruth

Members,

Don't forget that we have a talk today on Sierpinski's Gasket given by Ian Stewart. The gasket is remarkable because it, or a discrete relative, appears in many apparently unrelated areas of mathematics - Pascal's triangle, the Tower of Hanoi puzzle, and Iterated Function Schemes. Benoit Mandelbrot has compared it to the Eiffel Tower. The lecture is a celebration of the ubiquity of Sierpinski's gasket and its curious numerology.

Afterwards we'll be moving to the Common Room for an end of term social. Expect food, drink, music and banter aplenty.

It all gets started at 5pm, today, in MS.02.

Members,

We have some very exciting events for the last week of term lined up:

Monday - Discussion Groups - 2006 prez, Dan "The pink asassin" Wood, will be giving a brief survey of maths most controversial axiom since the parallel postulate. 7pm, MS.03

Wednesday - Maths Cafe - Answering questions and providing tea and coffee for all those Maths based undergraduates who still want (more likely have) to do work. 1-4pm, Undergraduate Workroom

Wednesday - Ian Stewart Talk and Social - We're going to be hearing about Sierpinski's Gasket from one of the departments most accomplished speakers, and following it up with a Social in the Common Room. Free food and drink will be provided after the talk! 5pm onwards, MS.02

Members,

It's week 9, we're tired, busy, but almost at the end... of this term. Here's what we've got planned this week:

Maths Cafe - Now with hot drinks, and upgraded snacks. Talking through your mathematical dilemmas and providing a place to vent your frustration. Please come along if you want to help out too.
Wednesdays 1pm.

Society Awards - The Maths Society was nominated for 'most improved society', and a group of us will be going to the society awards evening, if you want to come, have a look at the forum:

Members,

It comes to that exciting time of the term again, when we ask for your ideas and input into the society's magazine: the Mathemagician.

If you missed last terms, have a look on-line at:
http://www.mathsoc.warwick.ac.uk/mathemagician/2006/winter

This time we're after articles about something vaguely mathematical, and preferably funny. You don't have to have written anything before, and it really doesn't have to be written in LaTeX.
If you want to get more involved have a look at the forum threads:
