Join us for the Liverpool Mathematical Society Christmas lecture with Alison Kiddle.
Alison will examine what happens when you make a small change. Mathematically speaking, when we vary an input to a function by a small amount, the output might do very little in response, or it might change wildly. Join Alison to explore how the mathematics of change has… well, changed, through history, and see how you can make a difference in the future of mathematics.

Alison is a mathematician, educator and maths communicator based in the East of England.
