Dear Maths Friends,
Summer’s lease hath all too short a date
This feels as true now as when Shakespeare wrote it over 400 years ago. But hopefully you are recharged by the sunniest summer in years.
Recently the A-level, GCSE and Leaving Certificate results came out, the fruition of long years of preparation by students and teachers and we wish all the students the best in their next phases.
Happy Birthday to the IMS which is celebrating 50 years at their annual meeting that starts tomorrow.
Maths Ireland Blogs were started 10 years ago by Prof Colm Mulcahy with the ambition of having a blog every month celebrating Irish mathematicians. There are 80 blogs available covering a range of most counties on the island. The most recent blog (July) accounts for over 100 Irish maths/physics graduates, especially those pre-2000, who ended up with careers in the Irish Met Office .
The Maths Week posters are being printed at present and will soon be on their way to all schools on the island.
Read below for Maths News and Coming Events, and information about taking part in Maths Week 2026.
