Join us for an upcoming Inaugural Lecture on Monday 17 June as we welcome Kevin Houston, Professor of Mathematics Education and Public Engagement at the School of Mathematics

About this lecture
Professor Houston’s lecture, “Professor Zeeman’s Catastrophe Machine,” takes inspiration from the moment Kevin’s childhood interest in mathematics went beyond what was presented in the classroom – specifically, with Sir Christopher Zeeman’s studies on catastrophe theory, and a simple, easy-to-make mathematical toy he used in public engagement to demonstrate his research.

Venue and Agenda
The lecture will take place in the Esther Simpson Building at the University of Leeds, with arrival and registration from 3.45pm in the café, and the lecture commencing at 4pm in Lecture Theatre 1.01. This will be followed by a drinks reception in the Esther Simpson café from 5pm.

Booking is required to attend this event. Please book by Thursday 13 June.
