Speaking
In February 2007, I appeared on Channel 4’s radio show The Tube, discussing Goldbach’s Conjecture with Alex James (of Blur fame) in front of an audience of screaming teenage rock fans. Afterwards Alex James wrote nice things about me in The Independent.
In October 2007, I gave a talk about e and transcendental numbers at Café Scientifique in Chapel Allerton, Leeds, in front of a less screaming, less teenage audience. See photos here.
I’ve given several more technical or formal talks, see my Mathematical Talks page.
