At a time when many universities are struggling to recruit students, it is heartening to hear about a mature student’s success with his studies. However it also makes me wonder how many other potential mathematicians were put off maths years ago and have not returned to it.

Director, Greenwich Maths Centre at the University of Greenwich. Passionate about maths and the opportunities it offers. My views are my own.
This article is spot on. Many excellent mathematicians didn't get top grades in A-level maths. If you enjoy the subject and work reasonably hard you have every chance of success, whatever your A-level result!

A very helpful article for anyone who wants to study mathematics at university but doesn’t get an A/A*. https://lnkd.in/dHJ4_mUH

You might wonder why we haven’t mentioned her name in this post. Well, she’s just 16, and her parents haven’t allowed her to have a LinkedIn account yet. So, out of respect for their wishes and for privacy reasons, we’ve kept her name and school under wraps. Working with her got me thinking, though. When is the best time to start learning data science? Personally, I believe the world is changing rapidly, and data literacy should start at a younger age. But when exactly is the right time? I’m not sure, but when she mentioned that learning Python was much easier than she had anticipated, it made me question why young girls often think coding is difficult. As industry professionals, how can we change this perception?
About six weeks ago, we received an enthusiastic email 📩 from a Year 12 student eager for work experience. Unfortunately, our setup at Hypatia Analytics couldn't accommodate a traditional work experience placement 😞 We reached out to several corporate partners on her behalf, but had no luck. Her school also faced challenges finding a suitable placement. Not one to give up, we had a conversation to explore how we could help. The student expressed her passion for #mathematics and her ambition to pursue it at #university. She also shared her love for sports and the #OlympicGames 🥇 Inspired by her interests, we crafted a 10-week summer project centred around #data. We started with something simple: for the first two weeks, she searched for a relatable dataset. Although the internet is full of resources, it can be overwhelming to navigate. Eventually, she chose a medal table dataset from the modern Olympic Games and began her analysis 📈 We started with Excel for its accessibility, then moved on to data cleaning and analysis in #Python 🐍 She was thrilled by Python, noting how beneficial these practical skills would be if taught in schools. Now, she's spending the next two weeks continuing her dataset analysis, deciding between #PowerBI and #Tableau for her data visualisations – a choice many data enthusiasts ponder. This experience raises a broader question for our industry: when should students start learning these crucial skills, especially since most student licences are tied to higher education? And how can companies like ours contribute more effectively to our communities and bridge this gap? Reflecting on this journey, it's evident there's much we can do to support and nurture young talent. We may not have started with a perfect plan, but sometimes improvisation leads to the most rewarding experiences 🤗 #workexperience #workplacement #maths #STEM #industry #skillset #softskills #highereducation #youngtalent #dataviz #dataanalytics #Olympics
