Matthew Inglis

Background

I am a professor in the Department of Mathematics Education at Loughborough University. I am co-director of Loughborough's Centre for Mathematical Cognition, and serve on the editorial board of Educational Studies in Mathematics. From 2010-2015 I was a Royal Society Worshipful Company of Actuaries Research Fellow, in 2014 I was awarded the Annie and John Selden Prize by the Mathematical Association of America, and in 2017 I was named the Times Higher Education Outstanding Research Supervisor of the Year.

 

In 2014 I appeared on Radio 4's A History of Ideas programme, talking about my research on mathematicians' perceptions of mathematical beauty. Earlier in the same year the Royal Society recorded a Café Scientifique talk I gave about the relationship between mathematical study and reasoning development. In 2017 I appeared on the Math Ed Podcast talking about the book Nina Attridge and I wrote on reasoning development; in 2020 I appeared on Craig Barton's podcast talking about how teachers can engage with education research; and in 2022 I appeared on the Language Scientists podcast talking about randomised controlled trials in education.

 

Research Interests

The main focus of my research is on mathematical thinking and reasoning. Some questions I am currently interested in include:

  • How do numerical symbols acquire their meaning?
  • What are mathematical explanations, how are they generated, and how do they effect learning?
  • How do students and mathematicians read and evaluate mathematics?

Depending on the number of students I'm currently working with, I may be able to supervise PhD research degrees in these or related areas. Please email me to discuss possibilities. Details about PhD study in mathematics education or mathematical cognition at Loughborough are available here.
