About the lecture
In this mini-lecture we continue our discussion of Topics 2.01a, 2.01b, 2.02a, 2.02b, 2.02c, and 3.03a by learning how to work with fractions and decimals. In particular, we consider: (i) examples of adding and subtracting fractions including how to convert fractions into a form with common denominators; (ii) how to add decimals by stacking them so that the place values line up; and (iii) examples of how to multiply and divide with fractions and decimals.
About the lecturer
Thomas Woolley is a Mathematical Biologist and Senior Lecturer in the School of Mathematics at Cardiff University. His research focuses on modelling biological systems in order to understand how certain biological phenomena occur. Currently, he is working on understanding muscle stem cell protrusions known as blebs. Blebs allow cells to move along muscle fibres in order to find and heal damage, and Dr Woolley is interested in gaining insights into how this motion occurs. Alongside his research, Dr Woolley is passionate about outreach and has contributed to a variety of projects, including appearances on Numberphile and BBC Radio Wales – Science Cafe. He also contributed to the creation of Mathematics: The Winton Gallery at the London Science Museum.
