50 Visions of Mathematics - celebrating 50 years of the IMA 
We joined HRH Princess Anne and many great mathematicians to celebrating 50 years of the IMA at the Royal Society.
Maths meets royalty this Wednesday! 
We're very excited! Over the last year or so we helped edit a book called 50: visions of mathematics and this Wednesday it will be officially launched — in the presence of HRH The Princess Royal!
A NICE decision 
How does NICE make the difficult decision of which treatments to fund under the NHS?
What is creativity? 
What were your most creative experiences at school? Art? Music? English? Maths?
