Dear Plus reader,
Our apologies for not including the URL of the Plus site in the last
email!
Issue 25 of Plus is now out (http://plus.maths.org), with lots more about
how maths can make you rich and famous - get working on the Riemann
Hypothesis, the Navier-Stokes equations, or the Poincare Conjecture, for
example - or at least find out in our interview with Government Actuary
Chris Daykin how to stay above the breadline in your old age! There's more
money on offer in the Times Higher Educational Supplement's Science
Writing Competition - let's get a mathematical winner this time!
Maths, love it or loathe it, your opinions were probably formed in primary
school. We speak to a primary teacher about her career in maths education.
In Pluschat, should maths be optional from age 14? We have an opinion -
what's yours? And, in the first of what will be a regular feature,
mathematician and cosmologist John D. Barrow shares some maths that's
amused and intrigued him.
As always, news, reviews, a puzzle and more to keep you reading until it's
time for the next issue!
All the best from the Plus team
