 Hi, I'm Steve. I look after all aspects of the Stage 5 parts of NRICH. I like inventing maths problems and activities on anything to do with maths. You can email me on post16.nrich@maths.org if you'd like to see something specific.

I'm rather forgetful, make plenty of typos and numerical errors and  have a PhD in M-theory, which is nice. I'm keen that all students are given the opportunity to enjoy maths irrespective of their particular interests or ways that they think and learn.
