Channel Talent Mathematical Proof Workshop with Dr George Witty, University of East Anglia

This live, interactive Mathematics session explores mathematical proof with Dr George Witty, Lecturer in Mathematics and Widening Participation Academic Lead in the School of Engineering, Mathematics and Physics at the University of East Anglia. The workshop is designed as a skills-and-insight event for students who want to deepen their understanding of how mathematicians justify statements and build rigorous arguments.

Participants will look at what kinds of statements can be proved, and at the different forms mathematical proofs can take. The session also reflects on problem solving more broadly, including how developing stronger problem-solving skills can help with unseen problems and with proving mathematical statements.

The event runs online through Zoom, so students can take part either individually from school, college or home, or as a group in a classroom setting. It is a live participative session rather than a recording, although slides will be shared where available.
