  The puzzles on the web site are old and not representative, but I've not had time to update them yet. With nearly 50% of the attendance already booked, I've had very little time to go back and address the inadequacies of the original site. But thanks for the reminder - I need to go and address that. As a stop-gap - here's a list of talk titles from 2010. Not all of these made it - we had 50 x 5 minute talks, and some of these didn't make the cut: http://www.mathsjam.com/MathsJamTalksOffered_2010.html http://www.mathsjam.com/MathsJamTalksOffered_2010.html But the talks and puzzles were really a starting point. The main purpose was to get people together to talk about what they are interested in. The talks only accounted for 60% of the time, the rest was in coffee breaks where people talked about maths at all levels. We had PhDs talking about their latest difficulties, and industrial mathematicians talking about the applications of the latest results from various areas to their work. We had teachers finding new ways to present concepts, and we had retired people lending their expertise and thoughts to students. And there were puzzles, demonstrations, magic, and other stuff that geeky people like.
