Discover how Mathematicians have changed history by cracking codes, and have a look at a genuine WW2 Enigma machine
Since the ancient Greeks, people have been using secret codes to keep their communications private. Claire Ellis will be unravelling some of these ciphers and explaining how mathematicians and scientists have managed to change the course of history by cracking codes. She will demonstrate a genuine WW2 Enigma Cipher machine and explain how the British code breakers at Bletchley Park managed to achieve the apparently impossible – unravel the infamous Enigma code.
Warning: This talk will prove that mathematicians can be heroes too!
