Vision behind Mathelots

“In my dreams, I see a distant world beyond today’s horizon.

A world where everyone knows the joy of discovery.

A world brimming with the spark of an “aha” moment and the thrill of the joust that comes before it.

A world where mathematical thinking is celebrated as an integral part of our culture.

A world where maths is done simply for the love of the subject.

Mathelots is a journey towards that world.

Come with me as we venture beyond the horizon.”
