www.tomrocksmaths.comDr Tom Crawford teaches Maths at the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge, as well as running the award-winning ‘Tom Rocks Maths’ outreach programme. With over 30 million views on YouTube, it’s likely you’ve seen him taking a high school maths exam with no preparation, or talking all things fluid dynamics on Numberphile. When not misbehaving with numbers, Tom can usually be found playing football, snowboarding, getting a new maths tattoo (15 and counting…), or more recently stepping into Rachel Riley’s shoes on Countdown.
