Oxford is switching from MAT to TMUA for Maths, Computer Science, and joint honours, as part of a wider move to UAT-UK tests. See www.maths.ox.ac.uk/r/tmua for info and resources. As you can imagine, our website says MAT in lots of places, please bear with us as we change them all to TMUA! ^James

There are some nice different methods submitted to the SSP's fortnightly question from 17th Oct. The question for 31st Oct is one that could be used in a maths interview! For all fortnightly questions see maths.org/step/past-fortnightly-questions #UKMathsChat #Alevelmaths #MathsToday

Thought I would introduce myself! My name is Claire, and I was a secondary maths teacher for 15 years and have now been working for over 10 years in Maths Outreach for Cambridge University. In my spare time I chauffeur my kids about and walk my 3 dogs.
A woman walks a brown and white Sprocker spaniel.  The woman and the dog are looking at each other.  The woman's coat has been slightly mud splattered by a slightly over enthusiastic retrieve.
