Dear Martin Guy,
On 3.12.2019 you said
(see below); “with the current A level course designed to be
accessible to students with only GCSE level Maths”
The Italians discussed cattq; http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/cattq.htm
. You will see that there is no mathematics in cattq.
Mike Evans and I very
much need to come to see you after the crisis.

Since posting this letter, it has occurred to me that
it would be more convenient for you if the letter were on the www at http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/guy.htm
, so that you can go straight to the hyperlinks. Also, Mike Evans, who lodged
in Hawking’s house and became very friendly with him, today said he will be
happy to come along with me when I and he talk to your sixth form students. I
note that one of your Houses is called “Hawking”. I think Hawking was at your
school before my son Graham. Mike was at school with me. -

attention of students.”

Dear Martin Guy,
I would very much
like to talk to you or to your sixth form physics students.
I live just up the
hill near Waitrose, and will usually be available.
My son the late
Graham Catt had a scholarship to your school, and went on to Sussex University
to study Physics. I myself did engineering at Cambridge.
I was Principal
Lecturer at West Herts College.
Yours sincerely,
Ivor Catt
Cc Headmaster, St
Albans School.

Dear Mr Catt,
Thank you for your
letter. Apologies for not getting back to you sooner, I have been on sick
leave. I have read your article in Physics Education with interest, but I think
that the details of your theory are well beyond most of our sixth form
students; with the current A level course designed to be
accessible to students with only GCSE level Maths they would struggle to
critically appraise your ideas. I think it might be more appropriate to
approach universities with an offer of a talk, as the content seems to be at
degree level.
Best wishes,
Martin Guy
