<h2>Mathscon Maplesoft Grant Application</h2>
<hr><br></div>
<div class="container-fluid text-center">
<div class="container-fluid">
<p>Mathscon is a unique organisation that brings people together through maths, and creates a community of innovative, fun, and ambitious individuals. Not only is it important to us that we continue to break the stereotypes associated with
maths and push the boundaries for success, we also hope to continue to engage with our delegates and support our community of maths enthusiasts. That’s why this year we are introducing the Mathscon Maplesoft Grant. This is a grant
available to any maths enthusiast that buys a ticket to our conference and completes the grant application form. The winner will receive £1000 from Mathscon and Maplesoft to support them in their mathematical studies. We want to support
people who not only share our appreciation for maths, but actually use maths to be innovative and make a difference. How do you identify with the Mathscon Principles? Have you recently competed in a mathematical competition? Do you
contribute towards a mathematical publication regularly? We want to hear from you! Apply here by completing the following:</p>

<p>Listed by the Science Council as ‘one of UK’s top 100 Scientists’, Dr. Nira Chamberlain is indeed one of the greatest mathematical minds the present world has seen. He is the first mathematician who has made into the list
of “Top 100 Britain’s most influential people of African and African-Caribbean Heritage”.</p>
<p>Completing his PhD in Statistical Physics from Portsmouth University, Dr. Chamberlain went on to become a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, the Chartered Scientist, as well as the Chartered Mathematician.</p>
<p>Dr. Chamberlain has over 20 years of experience at writing mathematical models/simulation algorithms that solve complex industrial problems. He develops mathematical solutions within industries such as the defence, aerospace,
automotive and energy sectors! No wonder he is one of the few British Mathematicians to feature in the Encyclopedia of Mathematics & Society.</p>
<p>In 2017 , Dr Nira Chamberlain became one of the Vice-Presidents of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications.</p>
<p>Nira’s multi-dimensional excellence in the field of Mathematics has no bounds. His recommendation to any aspiring mathematician is that “You don’t need anybody’s permission to be a great mathematician!”</p>
<p>We are proud to have him as one of our keynote speakers this year. You cannot afford to miss this one of the most influential mathematical voices in the upcoming edition of Mathscon.</p>

<p>Manchester based mathematician, Dr. Katie Steckles, after finishing her PhD in 2011, has gained a global recognition by choosing to be one of the most influential female mathematics and science communicators in the world.
She talks about maths in schools, at science festivals, on BBC radio, at music festivals, as part of theatre shows and on the internet.</p>
<p>Katie, besides being a Mathematics Masterclass speaker for the Royal Institution, works for Think Maths giving talks in schools around the country about engaging off-curriculum mathematics.</p>
<p>Dr. Steckles has appeared in several videos on the YouTube channel Numberphile; is the organiser of the Manchester branch of MathsJam, a monthly pub night which involves fun maths, puzzles and other interesting mathsy things;
is the organiser of Manchester Girl Geeks, the Manchester branch of the world famous Girl Geek Dinners.</p>
<p>These are just a few of the outstanding outreach and engaging activities Dr. Katie Steckles does, in the capacity of her wonderful mathematically enriched career.</p>
<p>Katie was awarded the prestigious Joshua Phillips Award for Innovation in Science Engagement in 2016.</p>
<p>When she’s not doing some serious mathematical project, she enjoys doing puzzles, solving the Rubik's cube and baking things of geometrically significant shapes!</p>
<p>Mathscon 2018 is thrilled to have you, Katie</p>

<p>Marianne Freiberger is the co-editor of internet magazine Plus with an enthusiasm for maths popularisation. She joined Plus in 2005 after completing a PhD and a 3-year postdoc in Complex Dynamics at Queen Mary University
of London. Plus is an internet magazine which has welcomed many exciting authors and interviewees, including Stephen Hawking and Roger Penrose. It aims to introduce the general public to the beauty and practical applications
of mathematics - so it is easy to see why Marianne is the perfect guest for our upcoming conference!</p>
<p>On top of this Marianne has co-authored the popular maths books ‘Numericon: A journey through the hidden lives of numbers’ and ‘Math Squared: 100 concepts you should know’. She has given presentations to mathematicians
about how to communicate their work to a wider audience, and to journalists about how to deal with maths in the media. For a taste of what to expect at the conference, her fantastic TEDx talk ‘How the world is connected’
can be found on YouTube.</p>

<p>After embarking on post-doctoral studies at Stanford University, D.Phil in Chemical Physics from Oxford, James Edward Baggott, or popularly known as Jim Baggott, decided to lead a life writing about science, technology,
philosophy, their various applications and history.</p>
<p>Baggott has more than 20 years’ experience being a science writer. His articles have appeared in online and offline media, and he has made several appearances on radio and television. He is the author of nine books, including
the famous ‘Higgs: The Invention and Discovery of the ‘God Particle’“. Jim is also a regular contributor to science magazines like New Scientist, and Nature.</p>
<p>From being a lecturer in University of Reading for a brief time period, to working in Shell International Petroleum, Jim exploits his amazingly vast range of scientific experiences in both academia and industry to justify
his self-bestowed title of a ‘Science Communicator’.</p>
<p>Besides being a Glaxo Science Writers Awardee in 1991, the world famous British ‘Science Communicator’ got awarded with the prestigious Marlow Medal by the Royal Society of Chemistry in 1989.</p>
<p>We cannot wait to have Jim Baggott in this year’s Mathscon speaking on ‘Is God a Mathematician?’, enlightening and enthralling us with his beautiful philosophical and scientific perspective on the subject.</p>

<p>Professor Carlo Contaldi, armed with his PhD in Theoretical Physics and years of experience in theoretical cosmology, will be sharing his expert perspective on our parallel universes panel.</p>
<p>A Professor of Theoretical Physics at Imperial College, he explores the physics of the very early Universe and the observations that can help us understand everything in it. \</p>
<p>His highly complex research takes on some pretty cool topics - the distribution of galaxies, Dark Matter, and Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) – the background of decoupled radiation left over from the big bang.</p>
<p>With this he finds ways to compare theoretical models of the nature of the Universe with an ever-growing body of cosmological observations. Professor Contaldi has also worked on some incredible collaborative experiments,
such as balloon borne telescopes called BOOMERANG and SPIDER, as well as a CMB telescope based at the South Pole.</p>
