We organise various events throughout the year to increase public engagement and literacy of mathematics and, for this reason, many of our events are targeted towards individuals with a sixth former’s grasp of mathematics, and occasionally towards the general public.
It is quite difficult for sixth formers to understand what mathematics is like to study at university level; probably, such students would similarly find it difficult to explain to young O level mathematics students what their studies are like in preparing for A level.
For this reason, many of the events we organise are informal talks where university students can present material related to their studies in an accessible way. We encourage any sixth formers to follow our pages on social media so that they can hear about and attend our events, especially if they enjoy studying mathematics but are unsure what course to pursue at university.
The MMS was founded in 1998, with committee members Prof. Joseph Muscat (president), Audrienne...
