Dear all,
This has been a busy month so far for the NRICH team, with an event to
celebrate the official launch of our new site held at the Royal Society in
London on March 10th.
We hope that you are gradually getting used to the changes we have made to
the website and are finding it easier to use. Remember that you can look
for problems by mathematical topic in the Maths Finder, or by typing in a
keyword. In the keyword search you can request a problem, game or article
and you are able to choose particular content and challenge levels. If you
use the NRICH site at school in Maths lessons, then perhaps you would like
to ask your teacher whether one of us could come and talk to them. We are
always keen to hear what you think of the site, so do let us know.
The website theme this month is "Codes and Hidden Meaning". You might be
surprised at how many codes you have come across already and we know they
contain lots of maths to get stuck into. If you have not already delved in,
there is still time. In addition, don't forget the weekly problem - a great
way to start your Monday mornings, although you'll have to wait until the
following Monday for the solution!
Have you read any of the new articles published this month? There is one on
each tier - discover how code breaking is used by spies and secret agents,
read up on the history of Morse Code, or find out about Public Key
Cryptography. And of course there will be plenty more exciting and
challenging mathematics from NRICH in the coming months.
With best wishes from everyone at NRICH.
