I was out of the office today so didn’t have access to my chalkboard mug. Luckily I’ve got other mugs with maths on! This one has the Curtis MOG on it. Curtis (1976) came up with the method for playing around with the Mathieu groups. It is a fantastic piece of work, fits wonderfully on a mug, and was partially to blame for me starting the ‘Maths on a Mug’ “thing”.
Sadly these mugs are not available to buy online. You need to complete a Maths degree at the University of Birmingham, and then they’ll give you one on graduation day!
