Maths Workshop: an invitation to mathematics

Mathematical reality is an infinite jungle full of enchanting mysteries, but the jungle does not give up its secrets easily. Be prepared to struggle, both intellectually and creatively. The truth is, I don’t know of any human activity as demanding of one’s imagination, intuition, and ingenuity. But I do it anyway. I do it because I love it and because I can’t help it. Once you’ve been to the jungle, you can never really leave. It haunts your waking dreams.

So I invite you to go on an amazing adventure!
