Despite the very large audience of almost 30 new Year 12s she gave a very convincing presentation on Fermat’s Last Theorem and modular clock arithmetic. Afterwards we discussed our plans for the upcoming Festival of Ideas in Cambridge and Battle of Ideas in London, both of which we hope to attend in the future.
Oli, who in October will be leaving to study physical Natural Sciences at Emanuel College Cambridge, gave an excellent lecture to us about his EPQ project on Dark Matter and Supersymetry. Topics covered included the Standard Model of particle physics as well as the Higgs mechanism. The second part of his talk was a first-hand student’s account about applying to one of the world’s top universities and detailed several useful resources and tips which many of the year 13s found extremely useful. After a short Q&A session we concluded our first lunchtime session and bid Oliver a final goodbye! We wish him all the best.
