Maths in Action<br />
This year, Lyuba has been teaching a<br />
brand new course which is closely<br />
related to her research interests.<br />
Mathematics in Action is aimed at<br />
students in years 4 and 5, and focuses<br />
on using mathematical techniques to<br />
analyse real‐world data – usually<br />
building on mathematics that appears<br />
in earlier courses. The course is very<br />
hands‐on, giving practical experience<br />
of analysing data in Matlab – ranging<br />
from comparisons of different imageprocessing<br />
methods, to analysing Met<br />
Office data on the mean temperature<br />
in Scotland.<br />
