Mathematics: Real World Applications of Matrices – University Tutorial With Dr Martin Richter From University of Nottingham
28th March 2023 @ 16:15 - 17:00
In this live interactive Mathematics tutorial, we will be joined by Dr Martin Richter, a leading academic from the School of Mathematical Sciences at University of Nottingham, who will explore Real World Applications of Matrices.
The full context/introduction to this live and interactive discussion is provided in a Headliner recorded resource (see below) which offers insight into the application of matrices to understand the vibration and excitation of the structure of a moving car. This recording can be watched as a class activity or independently in preparation for the live discussion which will develop the mathematical ideas and principles used in this, and other, case studies.
The session aims to deepen students’ understanding of the topic whilst enabling them to access and experience a live online university tutorial.
Lecturer Profile (Please Click): Dr Martin Richter
Our events are designed so that a group of students can take part from a classroom, or students and teachers can take part as individuals, either from school or from home. This means that sessions will continue irrespective of possible school closures.
As a live, participative event, this session will not be recorded but access to the Headliner recording will continue to be accessible.
Suitable for: Key Stage 5, and equivalent, students studying or with an interest in studying Mathematics and related subjects. Teachers and members of school staff, as always, are welcome too and participants can join as individuals from school/college or home, or as a group from school/college.
Preparation/Pre-Reading: Students are asked to watch the Headliner recording and consider some of the key issues.
The IT Setup: The event will be run on Bluejeans and participants will be able to join using laptops, tablets, and mobile devices. If you are joining as a school group, we recommend connecting with one device and projecting on to a whiteboard. You will be able to interact with the university via a microphone and/or typed comments and questions. Full details will be sent to those who have registered (see below) prior to the event.
Booking a Place: This is free for schools and colleges. If you would like to take part in this event, please register your interest using the link to the registration form below:
