Episode 018: Marjorie Winter, part I

  • Marjorie Winter is a mathematician and ringer in the Cambridge district of the Ely Diocesan Association.
  • Marj’s exposure to ringing came as a student at National Cathedral School, where she was hooked not only by the musical and physical aspects of ringing, but also by its suitability to mathematical analysis.
  • Marj’s path took her through Smith College’s mathematics department and eventually to Cambridge University, where she advised Master’s students and developed the Cambridge Mathematics Placement program while pursuing her own research.
  • In this part we talk mostly about schools, schooling, being a student, and being a teacher; part II (episode 020) is devoted to ringing!

Thank you, friends.
