The School of Theoretical Physics invites Leaving Certificate mathematics students to participate in the 2016 Calculus Course – taking place over ten weekends from 1st October 2016.

Announcement
Due to the recent changes in the Leaving Certificate mathematics curriculum (Project Maths), the amount of calculus taught has been severely reduced.
As this subject is essential for preparation to Third Level courses in Mathematics, Science and Engineering (as well as Economics) and in order to give students with an aptitude for mathematics the opportunity to prepare themselves better for further study, a 10-week course on Mathematical Calculus will be given by Prof. T. C. Dorlas at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies on Saturdays before Christmas, beginning on 1st October.
The course is open to all Higher-Level Leaving Certificate students from both the 2016 and 2017 cohort. As numbers are limited, those interested in attending are requested to register by 25th September – at the latest. Regular attendance will be compulsory as well as completion of the exercises. A certificate of attendance will be provided at the end of the course. A nominal fee of €40 will apply (see registration form below for details on payment methods).
For further information, please contact George Rogers (grogers@stp.dias.ie)
To register, please download the Registration Form from the link below and send it, along with a letter of recommendation from your mathematics teacher (as outlined on the form), to the address below.
The course fee of €40 may be sent in the form of a cheque (made payable to the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies) along with the completed registration form and letter of recommendation. Alternatively, payments can be made online here.

And then this Thursday @NASAMars Perseverance rover reaches Mars, which will try to land in a near equatorial crater called Jezero. Here you can see a possible route around the crater. (4/5)
Last Wednesday, the day the UAE revealed their first image of Mars, China's National Space Administration's Tianwen-1 arrived at Mars. This carries a rover which will be despatched to the surface in the coming months. (3/5) bbc.com/news/science-e…
First up is the @uaespaceagency's Hope mission entered orbit this day last week. It is the first inter-planetary mission by the UAE, and will stay in a wide orbit for one Martian year or two earth years to study climate and weather. (2/5)
It's a busy month over at our planetary neighbour Mars. Three missions headed there have or will enter orbit this month. Why so many at one time? They were timed to launch when the distance between the Earth and Mars was relatively short. (1/5)
