One of our members has kindly agreed to do an online course in , you can find details of the course under the 'academic stuff' link on the Learning LaTeX page.

The course is split into two components (connected of course) one online, and one based in the computer rooms in the Maths building. The latter gets started this week (week 3) on Wednesday 18th October, 11am - 1pm in A0.01, which is the Linux based computer room. Come along, ask questions, learn, be part of it.

Back by popular demand, Wednesdays 1pm, undergraduate workroom is the place to be if you need help with your maths. A bit like a large, informal supervision, in that there will be drinks and snacks for your consumption provided, but some maths will happen too.

What happens in each session is completely up to those who turn up, and though we're not going to give you all the answers, we are here to help, and can guide you until you find them yourselves. That's maths, and that's fun!

Monday of week four, MS.03 will play host to our very first discussion group.

Everyone is welcome; from the intrigued first year to the maths hungry titans of the fourth. There will be something for everyone as we talk you through those interesting wee beasties: julia sets.

Maths' prettiest pictures can come from the simplest of algorithms and have some extraordinary dynamical and topological properties.

Expect complex dynamics aplenty in a relaxed social atmosphere.

Run in two one-hour sessions, just pop along to A0.01 when you can!

This week David Holmes talks us through the 'Hairy Ball Theorem' and gives a proof in under an hour!

For those of you who now nothing about the 'Hairy Ball Problem': imagine a sphere covered with hairs, and you want to comb the hairs so that they all lie flat. Can this be done? Will you always end up with a point where you can't comb the hair flat? On what surfaces can you solve this problem?

If this is all to theoretical for you, then consider the wind on the Earth's surface. If you consider the horizontal direction of the wind at each point, the theorem tells you that at some point on the Earth, there is no wind!

Jamie Sawyer presents the third in our series of Discussion groups, Coding Theory. This should be a good, general interest one, that is very accessible to all. The place to be is MS.03, and the talk will be followed by drinks in the graduate, and some sort of darts tournament.

This week we continue (in a fashion) last week's discussion, by looking at large number factorisation techniques. We'll have a look why trial division isn't very good, look for some new methods and talk in depth about the Quadratic Sieve.
This is very modern maths and most of what will be discussed is less than thirty years old!

Followed by drinks in the graduate, and darts (urgh!)
