October 2010′s Alchemist Cafe


Steve Humble (aka Dr Maths) believes that the fundamentals of
mathematics can be taught via practical experiments. He holds the
Guinness World Record for the most children learning maths outside the
classroom.

In March 2010 he published an academic paper on the educational
benefits of learning maths outside the classroom and is presently
researching into the effect of parents on their children’s homework
His latest academic paper is called The Humble-Nishiyama Randomness
Game which gives a flavour of his other two mathematical loves – Magic
and Randomness. For the last seven years he has written a fortnightly
newspaper column called Dr Maths. You can find more information on Dr
Maths here.
