1. Marcus’ Marvellous Mathemagicians
This is another initiative from the brilliant Oxford Professor. He has groups of enthusiastic maths students geared up to go out to provide shows mainly at educational institutes. At the moment these are provided free with expenses being remunerated.
Another of Marcus du Sautoy ideas was Maths in the City. I think this is no longer being supported, however their is a wealth of ideas on the website to support the idea of maths int he city.
