MUS in Europe: Math in England

Dr. Steve Gadbois will lead the 2025 MUS in Europe trip Math in England from May 26 to June 5. Save the date and keep reading!
The itinerary will include stops in London, Greenwich, Cambridge, Bletchley, and Oxford, on the trail of historical sites and figures related to mathematics, including the following:

LONDON 
  • Science Museum
  • Royal Statistical Society
  • Florence Nightingale Museum
  • Westminster Abbey (Sir Isaac Newton’s tomb)
  • The Broad Street Pump (a memorial to the pump that was at the center of a cholera outbreak in 1854)
  • Tower of London (where Newton served as warden of the mint!)
  • Day trip (at least one way by boat on the Thames) to Greenwich, the Prime Meridian, and the Royal Observatory
  • Many non-mathematical must-sees (British Museum, Soho, St. Paul’s, the Shard, a live show, etc.)
CAMBRIDGE
  • Trinity College (where Newton, Hardy, and Ramanujan studied)
  • The Mathematical Bridge (with punting on the River Cam)
BLETCHLEY
  • Bletchley Park (once the top-secret home of the World War II codebreakers)
  • National Museum of Computing
OXFORD
  • Christ Church (The dining hall will be familiar to Harry Potter fans, and a stained-glass window depicts characters from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.)
  • Oxford Science Museum
Instead of the typical English credit, participation in this MUS in Europe will result in mathematics quarter-course credit. For more information, contact Dr. Gadbois.
