The Numbers Festival Newcastle, 27 June - 5 July 2015

摘要

As part of the celebrations for its 50th Anniversary, the IMA, in collaboration with the Universities of Manchester and Salford, ran the first ever UK Festival of Mathematics. This event was a great success and was well attended by school groups, mathematicians in academia and industry, teachers, and members of the general public. It delivered a rich combination of exhibitions, shows, talks and discussions at all levels and covering a wide variety of topics. A frequent comment by the visitors was, why hasn't the UK had such a festival before, and when will the next one be?
