They graduated with a degree in Mathematics from the University of Cambridge in 2002, and worked for several years as a maths teacher. At NRICH, they spent over a decade creating rich and innovative learning resources, while leading professional development workshops for teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alison&#8217;s focus is on helping learners to relax around maths by using crafts and games. Often students learn that they&#8217;re <em>already<\/em> doing complicated maths, even if they don&#8217;t realise it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Colin Beveridge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Colin is a mathematician, author and consultant based in Dorset, England. He obtained a B.Sc. in Mathematics with French (2000) and a Ph.D. in Mathematics (2003) from the University of St Andrews, before a few years of solar theory research at Montana State University. He started Flying Colours Maths, a tutoring and blogging business, in 2008; he has written multiple books in the <em>For Dummies<\/em> series as well as the pop-science titles <em>Cracking Mathematics<\/em> and <em>The Maths Behind&#8230;<\/em>. He&#8217;s also worked as a software developer, quantitative analyst and submarine wrangler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Colin loves breaking complicated maths down into simpler, more intuitive pieces and helping people put them together in new and interesting ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Elizabeth A Williams<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Elizabeth is a mathematician, tutor and editor based in Caerphilly, Wales. She graduated with a B.S. (1997) and an M.S. (1999) from Western Washington University and trained as a teacher in the UK before becoming a mathematics tutor. She has written for Chalkdust magazine and has a fearsome reputation as a copy-editor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elizabeth forcefully grabs passers-by to tell them how rainbows work. She helps people take care in what they&#8217;re doing so they only have to do it once.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s OK, there isn&#8217;t going to be a test.
