Miscellaneous
a treasury of mathematical humour
‘Invariant Society’ just happens to be an anagram of ‘Inactivity Reason’. Here we attempt to show the funny side of maths. (Note: we cannot be held responsible for the quality of these pages…)

Puzzles
Our Puzzlemasters release puzzles during term time, and prizes are awarded for the best solutions.
