We run subject workshops for Year 12 students which can be delivered at your school or college or at City St George's, University of London.
MATHEMATICS AT CITY ST GEORGE'S
A Mathematics degree provides an introduction to a wide range of mathematical techniques. A central theme is the application of abstract and logical methods to a wide variety of problems, equipping students for a wide variety of careers in industry, commerce, education, and research.
Our Mathematics department runs a variety of sessions available for schools and colleges, including talks on what it is like to study mathematics at university and taster lectures to give students a feel for university-level study in the subject.
ACTIVITY DETAILS
We run sessions in the following topics:
Cryptography
A session on cryptography and number theory and activities to apply the learnt theory to concrete encryption problems. Students will be introduced to the problem of secure communication and to different mathematical encryption algorithms and then explore different algorithms in small activities. An introduction to an area of pure mathematics not usually covered in the high school syllabus, gaining practical experience of how a real-world problem (the secure transfer of data) can be translated into a mathematical model and how mathematics can be instrumental to daily life.
