The Mathematics of Twisting Somersaults
What do a space station, a falling cat, and a springboard diver have in common? They are in free fall. But in contrast to a falling rock, they all have the ability to reorient themselves whilst they are falling. In this talk, we’ll explore the principles behind this phenomenon. The mathematics underpinning the reorientation uses…

Twist and Turn: The arithmetic of ropes
In this activity, we take a mathematical spin on tangling and untangling. We will consider a situation where we have two ropes and apply two possible operations: a twist and a turn. In this simple setup, we can create deceivingly complex tangles, but can we untangle them using the same two operations? We will answer…
