Maths is Everywhere
Continued Fractions by Professor John D. Barrow. What are continued fractions? How can they tell us what is the most irrational number? What are they good for and what unexpected properties do they possess? How did Ramanujan make good use of their odd features to make striking discoveries? We will look at how they have played a role in the study of numbers, chaos, gears and astronomical motions. (from gresham.ac.uk)
