THS Ambassador Mathew Syers attended the Exeter Maths School Summer residential programme.
“During the summer I was given the opportunity to attend a three day residential at the Exeter Maths school. This was a great opportunity as I am hoping to attend the maths school when I move up to college, and it allowed me to meet with some of the teachers there.
We covered a wide variety of mathematical subjects from probability to logic puzzles to game theory as well as some physics on the side. My personal favourite was Topology, a slightly obscure branch of mathematics that deals with describing a world where distance and angles do not exist and coffee cup is the same as a doughnut.
This was a really great look into what life might be like at college and has definitely convinced me to choose Maths as an A-level.”
