Barcelona: the place to do maths in shorts When I visit Barcelona I stand out for two reasons. Firstly, as a Canadian, I have a non-European accent and secondly, I’m the only person around me wearing shorts in the 16 C Spanish winter. The shorts are also largely due to the fact of my […]
Different perspectives on study groups …
June 28, 2017 by Leave a Comment
From a secondary school teacher To be invited to attend the European Study Group with Industry in UL this year as a teacher of applied maths at second level was a great privilege. At a time when knowledge alone is following the same path as horse power, adaptive intelligence, the ability to know what to […]
