MathsJam Weekend - 2011

What's a "MathsJam"?

MathsJams are gatherings for like-minded mathematically inclined people with an interest in problem solving and puzzles. The monthly meetings are held in various locations, but the weekend event in 2010 was such a success, and demand was so great, that we're running it again in 2011.

A MathsJam is a chance to share, discuss, solve or be confounded by a vast array of mathematical puzzles in a friendly, informal and inspirational atmosphere.
