Maths Week Scotland’s theme this year is Maths Tales, so what better excuse can there be to explore some of the stories of King David I and how maths can be found throughout his Royal Burghs? Join us on online for some pre-recorded stories designed to take you from King David’s first Scottish coins to the court of James IV of Scotland, and onwards through the Scottish Enlightenment and beyond. If you want a good maths tale, you can count on us.

Three Maths Week stories are now up on YouTube:
