You can find all of our Maths Week Scotland events listed in our online events calendar, but to help you with your planning we have once again pulled together an overview of daily highlights. The programme is a mix of both online and in-person events.
Most events take place during our gala week, 22 September to 28 September, but there are a few events that start earlier or take place later. We will be updating this, as new events come in, so please keep checking back! Please also note that many of our free events still require pre-booking, so please don't delay if you are interested in any of these.
