"To say that Chris has a wealth of knowledge is an understatement. It also fails to underscore his indelible patience. I ask a ton of questions. I insist on doing every single problem in the books I use. I can be pedantic, and I'm not the most consistent. Despite this, he never fails to fill his messages with insight and substance. Sometimes it's over my head, but the epiphanies are never-ending."

Our work is centered on mentorship that goes beyond math and encompasses all that drives human flourishing. These relationships restore a positive outlook, strengthen skills, and enrich the lives of everyone involved.

The children were encouraged to think, question, and investigate like true mathematicians as they tackled a range of challenges and puzzles. The sessions were engaging, dynamic, and energising, with every child fully committed to exploring solutions and embracing the joy of mathematical discovery.

A valuable method for solving complex problems takes longer to run as problems become more complex. Researchers have now found a way to make this runtime significantly lower. www.quantamagazine.org/researchers-...

The scientific mind of Leonardo Da Vinci The world's foremost expert on Da Vinci, Martin Kemp, explores what made the great thinker unique.

Leonardo da Vinci's revolutionary thinking remains startlingly relevant.

Join historian Martin Kemp as he uncovers Leonardo's "lateral seeing" and integration of art with science, showing how refusing to separate disciplines might unlock our interconnected challenges.
