Plus is a free website produced in the style of a popular science magazine, inviting young adults, students, teachers, and all life-long learners into the world of mathematics. We publish articles, podcasts and videos on any aspect of mathematics, covering topics as diverse as art, medicine, cosmology and sport, and showing how recent news stories were often based on some underlying piece of math that never made it to the newspapers. And all past content remains available online, which besides making for good browsing is, we hope, a useful resource for math school students and teachers.
