October-November
Albert Einstein said "It's not that I'm smart - I just stick with problems longer". In the sessions we will look at some problems that are worth sticking with. All are accessible and suitable even for non-Einsteins, and all offer a rich variety of potential mathematical exploration. We'll cover lots of work in Number and Algebra, Geometry and Measure.
October - November
In VC2, we will ask each school to give a presentation lasting about 7 minutes on what you have done since VC1. You will also have to answer questions from the other schools, and be prepared to ask them questions on their presentations.
