Edinburgh Maths Jam (January 2026)

The Brass Monkey, Drummond Street, Edinburgh 20th Jan 7.00pm-8.00pm Free

MathsJam is a monthly opportunity for like-minded self-confessed maths enthusiasts to get together in a pub and share stuff they like. Puzzles, games, problems, or just anything they think is cool or interesting. We don't have organised talks, planned activities or even strict timings - just turn up and join in. Events happen simultaneously (where possible) in locations all over the world.

The next Edinburgh MathsJam is on Tuesday 20th January, at The Brass Monkey on Drummond Street from 7pm. Look for the table with a mathematical sheep doing a Rubik's cube puzzle!

Please note: MathsJam is not for children. MathsJam is an event for adults to meet and socialise, which is why they are mainly held in licensed premises, where under-18s are not allowed.
