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!
