My latest video is about ancient spherical trigonometry. It goes back about 2000 years to the beginnings of trigonometry itself. In fact over most of that period the main reason to learn trigonometry was to do spherical trigonometry. youtu.be/yWqmrwhPtBs Possible enrichment for #AlevelMaths

We've had a number of #ALevelMaths students sign up for this course last year. It's a bit of a time commitment (weekly webinars, some assignments and an exam), but the ones who stuck with it got a lot from it.
The next cohort of the MEI Data Science Taught Course for #ALevelMaths and Core Maths students is now open for bookings.
It's 11 live online lessons from Nov-Feb in how to use Python to explore data. #DataScienceEd
Teachers can sign-up their students now.
