One of the things I want to improve with as an #ALevelMaths teacher is my knowledge of #physics in order to teach mechanics without just saying "it's magic, right?!" Any recommendations of introductory books/texts for this?
We have absolutely loved having Ayliean speaking at our events - both for students and adults. Strong recommendation from me 😍
Ayliean@ayliean.bsky.social · last mo.Hehe well, I have near no work booked in for August or September - help!

This is a maths 🆘 Please send help! In the grid, we can see exactly one multiple of 5 in each column. If I generalise the grid method for a coprime positive integer pair a and b with a<b we will have a columns and b rows. How do I prove that there is only one multiple of b in each column?
