      • Maths and sport: Countdown to the games

      21 February, 2011

      The Millennium Mathematics Project (of which Plus is a part) has just launched the Maths and Sport: Countdown to the Games website at http://sport.maths.org.

      Maths and Sport: Countdown to the Games is an exciting new project to celebrate London 2012. We're developing free online mathematical articles and activities exploring maths and science through the Olympic and Paralympic Games, aimed at a wide audience from school students and their teachers to members of the public. Find all our current articles and activities here and join our mailing list to receive email updates on new content as it appears.
