The Maths of Sports Stadiums |
| |
|
My talk entitled "The Maths of Sports Stadiums" is suitable for Year 11 & 12 students of Maths.
It aims to show how mathematics is fundamental to the design of building structures.
This is done through following three case studies of sports stadia I have worked on, and highlighting the use of mathematics in the design process.

| Notes for teachers are available here. Feel free to use them to help plan follow-up lessons after you have attended my talk. But please don't spoil the surprise for students who have not seen my talk by showing them the material before-hand... |
