  • Super-Curricular Suggestions
    Super- curricular suggestions Strong applicants to Cambridge and other competitive universities tend to have explored their chosen subject through wider reading outside the classroom, as well as doing very well in their GCSEs and A-levels. We call this sort of exploration ‘super-curricular’, as it builds on and enhances what you are studying in school. We do not expect you to pay for this sort of exploration and have endeavoured to provide resources that are mostly freely available. This selection of suggested reading lists and resources has been gathered from the Cambridge departmental and College websites, other universities and other sources on the internet. These lists are certainly NOT ‘required reading’ for Cambridge applicants. They simply provide some suggestions for places to start exploring your own interests in your chosen subject independently - you do not need to engage with any of the specific websites, books, podcasts etc mentioned and can easily find your own alternatives. The following lists are suggestions only. It is important to read critically by thinking carefully about the arguments, assumptions and evidence presented by the author. Reading is a great way to explore subjects that you find interesting – but there are many other ways to deepen your understanding: investigate your local museums, monuments, galleries and natural features, and think analytically about nature, machinery or the built environment. After the COVID-19 lockdown, perhaps you can visit some of these! The best thing about super-curricular activities is that there are no exams or deadlines to worry about – you are free to follow your own lines of enquiry into the areas that interest you the most.

  • Popularising Mathematics
    Popularising Mathematics Philipp Legner August 2013 Abstract Mathematics has countless applications in science, engineering and technology, yet school mathematics is one of the most unpopular subjects, perceived as difficult, boring and not useful in life. ‘Popularisation’ projects can help bridge this gap, by showing how exciting, applicable and beautiful mathematics is. Some popularisation projects focus on telling the wider public about mathematics, including its history, philosophy and applications; other projects encourage you to actively do mathematics and discover surprising relationships and beautiful results using mathematical reasoning and thinking. In this report I will develop a framework to classify and evaluate popularisation, and analyse a wide range of existing projects – ranging from competitions to websites, movies, exhibitions, books and workshops. I also reflect upon my personal experiences in designing popularisation activities. I would like to thank Professor Dave Pratt for his advise while writing this report. Table of Contents Introduction 1 Part 1: A Framework for Mathematics Popularisation The Value of Mathematics ........................................................................... 2 Defining Mathematics Popularisation ...................................................... 4 Designing Mathematics Popularisation ................................................... 8 Evaluating Popularisation Projects ............................................................ 11 Part 2: Case Studies of Popularisation Projects

    National HE STEM Programme - Final Report Written and compiled by Michael Grove National HE STEM Programme Final Report Written and compiled by Michael Grove Acknowledgements The achievements and successes detailed within this report would not have been possible without the Higher Education Funding Councils for England and Wales or the tireless hard work dedication of all members of the Programme Team within the Hub, Spokes and Professional Bodies to establish and support a range of activities and initiatives in fulfilment of the Programme’s aims and objectives; they deserve thanks for all of their efforts over the three-years of the Programme. Great thanks are due to Dagmar Waller and Daryl Davies for their help and support that enabled the Programme’s concluding conference to run successfully in September 2012 and for their help in the production of this final report; thanks also to Chantal Jackson for her design and layout of this report. Finally, the activities of the Programme were undertaken by those based within the higher education sector within a range of higher education institutions; the National HE STEM Programme is grateful to all those involved in each project for their hard work and dedication, and their ongoing commitment to enhancing all aspects of the STEM student learning experience. © The University of Birmingham on behalf of the National HE STEM Programme ISBN 978-1-909557-01-7 March 2013 Published by University of Birmingham STEM Education Centre on behalf of the National HE STEM Programme University of Birmingham Edgbaston Birmingham, B15 2TT www.hestem.ac.uk 1 2 The National HE STEM Programme – Final Report Table of Contents 1.
