Maths at: Long-tailed tits & Lovelace

 TITS! Tits. TiTs... TIIIIIIITS,


(tits)


t...i...t...s


Yup, we we've found our level.


 


This week we're joined by the wonderful (soon to be doctor)
Natasha Ellison (good luck, Natasha!), from the Unviersity of
Sheffield and she takes us on a whirlwind tour of her thesis
results of where you should look for tits in a forest and how the
mathematics stems from understanding wolf pack dynamics.





Alongside our ecological leanings we also discuss Augusta Ada
King, or Ada Lovelace to her friends. Tuesday 13th October marks
Ada Lovelace day. As one of the first ever computer programmers
to exist why not crack open your favourite programming language
and have a go at saying:


HELLO WORLD!
