Maths Week Scotland will be back 26 September - 2 October with the theme Beauty of Maths exploring the beauty and creativity in the world of maths. For some mathematicians that may be the elegance of a mathematical solution and to others the beautiful visual patterns created by their work.
We will also discover the maths underlying art and music. Take a peek at some of last years creative activities to get inspired.
