 The mathematics society had the pleasure of welcoming Viktor Stoyanov (Yes, Dr. Stoyanov’s son!), who spoke about probability and percolation theory. He began by discussing Bercoli Bond Percolation Theory before going on to discuss his own research that he is co-authoring with his professor at the University of Warwick. His talk offered the maths society a valuable insight into the world of academic research. The session was concluded with a Q&A section, where Viktor shared his own experiences of studying at Warwick, providing valuable insight for those considering studying at Warwick, or studying mathematics.  - Milan & Vivaan

St Paul's hosted a set of morning revision sessions with its partnership schools. This was led by SPS staff and supported by teachers of the partnership schools. The skills involved targeted level 7 - 9 questions of the GCSEs, with topics students tend to struggle with: Quadratic Inequalities Proof of Circle Theorems Geometric Problems with Vectors Tree Diagrams for Dependent Events Using Bounds in Calculations The sessions were a success and it was pleasing to see the cooperation between students and teachers of different schools. Anyone walking past the John Colet Hall could hear the buzz of students engaged in mathematics!
