Communicating mathematics: a historical and personal journey


Inaugural Lecture by Professor Robin Wilson

For most of my life I have attempted to communicate mathematics to a wide range of audiences -- through my teaching, public lectures, publications, and other means. This illustrated lecture explores these in the context of the many ways in which mathematics has been communicated over the past 4000 years, and suggests implications for how we teach at the Open University.
