Marathon for maths funding

Open-access content Tuesday 31st March 2015 — updated 4.50pm, Tuesday 14th April 2020
2

This year's London Marathon, taking place on 26 April, will see Gary Anderson (left) from CPRM running on behalf of the Company of Actuaries Charitable Trust (CACT). By way of reminder, CACT is the charitable arm of the Worshipful Company of Actuaries whose primary aim is to support mathematical education in the UK. 

For example, this year CACT is supporting the Royal Institution Maths Master Classes, in particular extending the reach of these classes in secondary schools.

CACT is also starting a funding initiative to encourage schools with a strong maths focus to develop outreach programmes so that their expertise can be used for the benefit of the wider community.

Gary would welcome your support in his attempt to raise at least £2,000 for CACT. You can sponsor Gary via his Virgin Money Giving site which can be found here.   

You can also keep up to date with Gary's training regime on his "running actuary" blog:  therunningactuary.blogspot.co.uk

Forging new paths

The Terminator is coming!  At least that's one potential vision of the future, invoked by Boris Johnson at the UN last year while he speculated about artificial intelligence (AI). We can certainly debate how realistic that vision is, and what the possible timescales might be.
