We celebrated the network's 15th anniversary with a day of talks around the theme '15 years of Scottish Maths Support Network: What Is the Maths Support Landscape in Scotland and Where Do We Go Next?'. Mark McCartney from Ulster University, was our guest speaker and talked about embedding elements of history of maths in the maths curriculum.
The meeting was subsidised by the Edinburgh Maths Society, The Glasgow Mathematical Journal Trust and the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications. View the programme of the day and abstracts.
