File: DavidAcheson !! Who? ********> [[[ http://home.jesus.ox.ac.uk/~dacheson/nwd4.jpg ]]] ******** David Acheson is a Fellow of Jesus College, Oxford, and the author of a fantastic little book called *"1089*and*All*That".* He enjoyed his 15 minutes of fame when he appeared live on BBC's Tomorrow's World to demonstrate his explanation of the Indian Rope Trick. David has been awarded a National Teaching Fellowship in recognition of 'his outstanding contribution to learning and teaching'. He plans to use the award to attempt a breakthrough in the communication of mathematics, particularly to students who are about to start at university. ********< ---- !! Where? [[[> |>> https://www.solipsys.co.uk/new/images/DavidAchesonInSpace.png _ Upcoming talk locations. _ Larger dots mean sooner, _ red dots are already past. <<| ]]] The map at right gives the locations of some of David's upcoming talks. More details can be found on his web site: * http://home.jesus.ox.ac.uk/~dacheson/index.html This page is not definitive - SolipsysLimited and ColinWright have no formal connection with David, apart from occasionally appearing on the same speaking program. Having said that, David is one of my recommended OtherSpeakers. ---- !! Forthcoming talks Here is a simple list of talks.
