Magical Maths
Atomic physicist and member of the Magic Circle, Dr Matt Pritchard, gave an inspiring maths presentation to year 7 and 8 students on Tuesday 19th March. The highlights included anamorphic illusions, where normal objects turn out to be anything but, when the viewpoint is changed and changing the area of two ‘identical’ shapes by re-arranging them; before proving they were not actually identical. He also managed to show how a student can step ‘through’ an A4 sheet of paper!
