NRICH Plus Magazine Competition
Plus magazine (http://plus.maths.org)
is looking for the science writers of the future who can
make mathematics lively and interesting for a general
audience. We are inviting all secondary and sixth form
students to become the science writers of the future who can
explain a mathematical topic or application they think the
world needs to know about.
The winning entries will be read by an international
audience of over a hundred thousand in the June 2009 issue
of Plus, and the winners will receive an iPod, subscriptions
to the journal Nature, and signed copies of popular maths
books by some of the best science writers today.
The competition will be judged by three prominent
mathematicians and science writers - judges in previous
years have included the acclaimed mathematicians and writers
Ian Stewart, John D Barrow and Marcus du Sautoy. The closing
date is March 31st 2009.
If you think your students can share their passion for maths
with the general public, please encourage them to visit the
competition page
