Maths at: Christmas

It's the most wonderful time... of the year. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all of our listeners. Join us as we discuss (amongst other things): our favourite Christmas films (not really mathematical); the differences between a mathematicians office Christmas party and an actual Christmas party (slightly mathematical); the number of presents your true is giving and how many legs they'll have (quite mathematical). So fill your boots with Turkey and in your after dinner stupor enjoy our CHRISTMATHS! We're better than the Queen's speech. GUEST INTRO AND OUTRO: Ma Woolley. As festive as Ben can get! Further reading links: It's a Wonderful Life (Ben's favourite Christmas movie), Muppet's Christmas Carol (Liz' favourite Christmas movie) and Batman Returns (Thomas' favourite Christmas movie); Sheffield University's Maths Society's formulas for a perfect Christmas tree; A nice discussion on the Travelling Santa Problem.
