Mr Tom Bramald, from the
University of Newcastle was in
school today to offer a presentation to pupils on
Shape,
Space and Measure – Maths and Geomatics Come Together.
Geomatics is the modern name for surveying and mapping sciences
and maths underpins the science. This session allowed pupils to
collect real-world data using modern geomatics equipment,
complete trigonometric and Pythagorean calculations and discover
a new, maths-based science.
