The Mathematics of Paper with Katie Steckles

Materials will be provided to join in from your seat, as Katie reveals the mathematical secrets hiding in household stationery.

Katie Steckles is a mathematician based in Manchester, who gives talks and workshops and writes about mathematics. She finished her PhD in 2011, and since then has talked about maths at universities, schools events, festivals, on BBC radio and TV, in books and on the internet.
