Who am I?
I am Matthew Scroggs. I like maths.
I have a Master's degree in mathematics from Oxford University and am currently studying for a PhD in Finite Element Methods and Boundary Element Methods at UCL. You can find information about my work and notes for courses I am teaching on the academic page. If you prefer a lighter variety of maths, you can find talks and articles about recreational maths on the recreational page. Between Oxford and UCL, I worked as a maths teacher in a secondary school.
You can regularly find me at London MathsJam. I write the crossnumber (as Humbug), puzzles and articles for Chalkdust Magazine. You will also find me at the next EMF Camp, where I will most likely be talking about recreational maths.

New puzzles are posted (almost) every Sunday, with answers posted on Monday. Some of my favourite puzzles are:
Again, a random puzzle could be a good place to start.
There is other content here too.
