Physicists and mathematicians sometimes talk about how certain properties or features 'emerge' from out of their equations. Indeed, there is even an entire research focus studying 'emergence'. But conceptually what does it mean? And does it, or should it, have any links with any other discipline?

Maven Publishing is currently collaborating with an author on a new A-level maths textbook series. They are looking for mathematically strong and education-minded undergraduates to support them with a range of tasks over the summer, including answer-checking and reviewing content.

If you have:

• Excellent mathematical skills
• An interest in education or publishing

they would love to hear from you!

With exams under way, we want to remind you of the resources available to students. Here are some that may help:

If you are free on the 29th June (13:00-17:30) then please do come to a free & open-to-all symposium titled 'Emergence' in the Martin Wood Lecture Theatre (Department of Physics).
