HELLO
I teach mathematics at the University of Hertfordshire. This web site covers mathematics up to 2nd year undergraduate studies and I would appreciate any helpful comments regarding this site. Please send your comments via email to [email protected]

The only way to learn mathematics is to do mathematics. It is not a spectator sport and you must try as many exercises as possible to understand and digest mathematics. Enjoy your journey through this web site and good
luck!
Mathematics is obviously something that women should be able to do very well. It's very intuitive. You don't need a lot of machinery, and you don't need a lot physical strength. You just need stamina, and women often have a great deal of stamina.
Mary Ellen Rudin (1924 to 2013)
You may wonder how any mathematics gets done when one has to teach, advise students, serve on committees, referee papers, write letters of recommendation, interview prospective faculty. Well, I take long showers.
Mathematicians on
Creativity by Peter Borwein
"Mathematics is essential for driving human progress and innovation in this century."
Mark Zuckerberg
(Facebook Founder).
Mathematics is the most
fundamental of the sciences the language they are all
written in. The best
mathematical minds benefit us all by expanding the sphere of human knowledge.
Yuri Milner (Russian Tech Billionaire).
You can always tell a
Harvard man, but you can't tell him much.
(James Barnes 1866-1936).
Some mathematicians are birds, others are frogs. Birds fly high in the air and survey broad vistas of mathematics out to the far horizon. They delight in concepts that unify our thinking and bring together diverse problems from different parts of the landscape. Frogs live in the mud below and see only the flowers that grow nearby. They delight in the details of particular objects, and they solve problems one at a time… Mathematics needs both birds and frogs. Mathematics is rich and beautiful because birds give it broad visions and frogs give it intricate details. Mathematics is both great art and important science, because it combines generality of the concepts with depth of structures. It is stupid to claim that birds are better than frogs because they see further, or that frogs are better than birds because they see deeper. The world of mathematics is both broad and deep, and we need birds and frogs working together to explore it.

The one person who ignited my love for mathematics was Lakshman Sinnadurai, a University College London (UCL) graduate
of 1961. Here is a bench dedicated to his memory. Sadly he passed away in 2005.
