I would like to add a big thank you to Dr Vicky Neale for this engaging talk on solving equations and helping to inspire young people to be mathematicians. I enjoyed it enormously and having got my doctorate in 1983 in mechanical engineering, I have recently returned to mathematics by studying A level maths for 'fun and relaxation' as my wife calls it. I aspire to be a reasonable mathematician.
