The Maths department were delighted to welcome to the school Professor Adam McBride, former head of mathematics and statistics at the University of Strathclyde, who delivered a mathematics master-class to pupils in S3 and S4.
Topics covered included magic squares, the "1089" trick and why the next number in the sequence 2, 4, 8, 16 might not be 32!
Thanks go to all the pupils who made Professor McBride's stay an enjoyable one. To find out more about the topics he discussed, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_squares
