On Tuesday 10th November, 52 Year 12 Maths students attended the Maths in Action trip, where they had the opportunity to hear from five engaging speakers who explored how mathematics is applied in a variety of real-world careers.

Here is what one student, Stan, had to say about the trip:

“I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to participate in the Maths in Action trip to the Emmanuel Centre in London. The trip consisted of a series of interactive talks by various high level mathematicians, all of whom used maths as a huge part of their jobs. What made the talks particularly enjoyable was the ability of the speakers to combine humour and energy with insightful presentations. Their talks provided an engaging insight into the breadth of the subject of maths, ranging from real-world challenges encountered throughout their careers to the wider significance of mathematical principles in today’s world, along with the power mathematics can hold. However the best part of the day was the presentation by Dr Frost himself from Dr Frost Maths, and getting to meet him after the event provided a memorable conclusion to what was an excellent outing.”
