Abstract
MathsWorldUK’s mission is to create a world-class Mathematics
Discovery Centre, celebrating the mathematics at the heart of
the patterns and structures of our world. A first for the UK, the
centre will combine best practice from successful partners across
the world with ingenious new ideas and innovative environments
developed in the UK. It will be a magnet visitor attraction, drawing
visitors from across the UK and from overseas.
We aim to advance the public understanding of mathematics and
its applications so that everyone, regardless of age, gender, background
and ability, can access and delight in the joy and power
of mathematics.
