He is a member of the University’s Mathematics Anxiety Research Group (MARG) and his PhD focused on exploring and understanding when mathematics anxiety develops in children and what contributes towards this. In this video Dom will answer questions from Rob Jennings, about Maths Anxiety. (2) Two videos from people who sufferer from Maths Anxiety (both an adult and a child).
