The creation of Minitab Statistical Software began in a university and today we are proud to continue to support leading academic and scientific institutions across the UK.
We invite you to meet us to discuss how you can benefit from our software to support the science and education of:

The Association of Teachers of Mathematics and The Mathematical Association are delighted to announce that there will be a jointly badged annual conference in 2019 at Chesford Grange, Warwick from 15-18 April. The theme of the conference will be Mathematics. Collaboration. Creativity. The conference offers members an invaluable opportunity to explore new ideas and make social and professional connections in a stimulating and challenging environment that encourages face-to-face sharing and learning.Learn first-hand about the latest developments in mathematics education and be inspired by the wide range of sessions available.
The RSS International Conference has established itself as the only conference in the UK for anyone interested in statistics and data science. Every year, over 600 statisticians and data scientists gather from all sectors and from over 30 countries to share information and network, attracted by a varied programme of talks and workshops. The 2019 conference will, once again, be organised by ‘streams’ allowing in-depth focus on specialised topics as well as broader presentations on new developments and thinking in statistics.
This main event is usually held in early September and attracts over 350 delegates from the UK, Europe, North America and elsewhere. The most recent annual conference was the OR60 Anniversary Conference, in September 2018 which was hugely successful attracting around 500 delegates. The next will be the OR61 Annual Conference on 3-5 September 2019 at the University of Kent. The three-day conference programme contains a mixture of plenary sessions given by keynote speakers and parallel streams, covering all aspects of O.R. which are of interest to both the Academic and Practitioner delegates.
To spark interest in statistics with students, try this fun exercise of weighing a few bags of peanut M&M's and counting their contents to gather useful data.
Through applying statistics to this data on the weight, colour, quality, and other factors of the M&M’s, students take an everyday item such as candy and transform it into a powerful learning tool.
