Textbooks\u201d pieces to this newsletter. The wisdom of a lifetime of teaching was evident in his writing;\u00a0 containing useful advice, sharing interesting ideas and posing perplexing puzzles.<\/p><p>Douglas was born and educated in Zimbabwe and taught there for seven years before arriving in England in 1981. He taught at Eagle House School for 29 years and retired in July 2010. After retirement, he continued his involvement with mathematics traveling around Britain hosting his popular DCBeagle challenges. He came to Maths Week Ireland in 2012 and was an important part of Maths Week each year since, traveling to all parts of the island over the years including Dublin, Mallow, Dundalk, Letterkenny, Derry~Londonderry, Belfast, Cavan, Galway, Sligo, Athlone, Thurles, Maynooth, Waterford Carlow, Kildare. Douglas also visited many special schools. He met each audience with enthusiasm and was always very patient and encouraging.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>Douglas was a keen rambler and was involved in a lot of volunteer work. He will have had a lasting effect on thousands of young people and their teachers.\u00a0 He will be sadly missed at Maths Week Ireland. <\/p><p class=\"last-child\">If anyone who met Douglas through Maths Week would like to share memories they would be welcome for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mathsweek.ie\/2023\/douglas-buchanan\/\" target=\"_blank\">our tribute page<\/a>.<\/p><\/div><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding-top:12px;padding-bottom:12px;padding-right:24px;padding-left:24px\" class=\"mceBlockContainer\" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\"><table align=\"center\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" role=\"presentation\" data-block-id=\"925\" class=\"mceButtonContainer\"><tbody><tr><!--[if !mso]><!--><\/tr><tr class=\"mceStandardButton\"><td style=\"background-color:#61187c;border-radius:0;text-align:center\" class=\"mceButton\" valign=\"top\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dcbeagle.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"mceButtonLink\" style=\"background-color:#61187c;border-radius:0;border:2px solid #000000;color:#ffffff;display:block;font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;padding:16px 28px;text-decoration:none;min-width:30px;text-align:center;direction:ltr;letter-spacing:0px\">Douglas\u2019s Website full of fun math challenges<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><!--<![endif]--><\/tr><tr>\n<!--[if mso]>\n<td align=\"center\">\n<v:roundrect xmlns:v=\"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml\"\nxmlns:w=\"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word\"\nhref=\"https:\/\/dcbeagle.com\/\"\nstyle=\"v-text-anchor:middle;
