Mathsgear (https://mathsgear.co.uk)

We are Steve Mould, Matt Parker and James Grime. We do maths shows, and people are always asking where they can buy the stuff from our shows. How disappointing to be told that it’s all hand made and can’t be bought! That’s why we decided to start making things in bulk and selling them. Matt and Steve started Maths Gear in 2011. James joined soon after and continues to feed the website will new toys like the Grime Dice and the Utilities Mug. The shop is steadily growing as we add more hard-to-find mathematical curiosities.
