Issue 28 of Plus is now out!
http://plus.maths.org
A new issue of Plus, a new look for Plus. With the release of issue
28, we unveil our new look for the site, which we hope will
make reading the magazine and browsing the archives even more
enjoyable.
In this issue we play chess, we play music, we even play at vampires.
We talk to an old friend of Plus, who is now a maths student at
university, and we have a second article written specifically for
students of the dark art of calculus.

NEWS FLASH
Live Maths
A little learning is a dangerous thing - Mathematical engineering was
seen by some renaissance engineers as a tool of unlimited power to
wield over nature. Dr Piers Bursill-Hall talks about their technical
and social ambitions, and how Galileo made the leap from Archimedean
mechanics to a mathematical natural philosophy and a new science.
When: 5pm Thursday 12 February 2004
Where: Centre for Mathematical Sciences, Clarkson Road, Cambridge
The lecture is free, but by ticket only. For more information see the
MMP web site:
