About

My name is Peter Rowlett. I have experience in teaching and outreach work and my research is in mathematics higher education curriculum development.

I have degrees in mathematics and multimedia. Following graduation I worked on elearning, careers and 'project work' mathematics education projects and did some elearning and web work in statistical education.

From 2008-10 I worked to engage university students for the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, touring the country giving 74 talks on careers and mathematical topics to 2,500 mathematics undergraduate and postgraduate students. I also taught some modules at Nottingham Trent University and worked in elearning at the University of Nottingham.

My teaching experience therefore includes around 220 contact hours with undergraduate and postgraduate students at all levels at 47 UK universities. I completed my Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education in 2009.

Since 2010 I have worked for the Maths, Stats & OR Network on a project in HE Curriculum Innovation. This involves research, staff development and distributing funding (approx. £250k) for 33 curriculum development projects at 27 universities.

I am currently registered for a PhD in elearning in maths.

I am a member of Council of the British Society for the History of Mathematics, and a member of the East Midlands Branch and Early Career Mathematicians committees of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications.

This website houses lists of my publications and talks I have given.
