About
The Mathematicalendar is designed to change people's minds about mathematics - that it's fun, often mind-blowing, and in everything!
A calendar written in the Language of the Universe
The fusion of two words, Mathematical and Calendar, into Mathematicalendar, creates a whole playground of fun, creative and accessible Mathematics. In the words of Galileo, Maths is the Language of the Universe - so when you're doing maths, you're speaking the Language of the Universe!
Starting in 2017, this year (2026) is the tenth edition of the calendar . It is the brainchild of Paul Bowyer, who thought the date was a fun and connected way of doing Maths each day, while shining a light each month on Maths in the real world, or cool maths principles.
About the creator
Paul became a Maths educator in 2014 after a career in the IT industry. He likes to meet the students where they are, find their spark and build on it. In the summer months, he also can be found doing Maths at the Markets at Manly in Sydney, where people of all ages and walks of life find themselves doing fun Maths!
He presents at conferences, visits schools and community colleges, and does online tutoring for students from Year 3 to Year 12.
