Abstract

MathsWorldUK’s mission is to create a world-class Mathematics Discovery Centre, celebrating the mathematics at the heart of the patterns and structures of our world. A first for the UK, the centre will combine best practice from successful partners across the world with ingenious new ideas and innovative environments developed in the UK. It will be a magnet visitor attraction, drawing visitors from across the UK and from overseas.
We aim to advance the public understanding of mathematics and its applications so that everyone, regardless of age, gender, background and ability, can access and delight in the joy and power of mathematics.
