I use counting, categorising, measuring, finding the centre of things, finding averages, and keeping track often in both my job and my everyday life. For example, I use finding the centre very often when making mathematical art in my work. I use maths to keep track of new medications I am trying and if they work, and to check if I might be able to get a better deal on my mobile phone plan.

Maths helps me when looking at how to fit and model different stars in my work. Ensuring I use the best parameters involves messing around with a lot of different numbers to ensure I get the most accurate fit! Also analysing numbers from different data sets and comparing them together to see if there are any trends uses a lot of maths.

I use statistics a lot in my work to compare model output to data and decide if my models are valid – the models are then used in predicting potential impacts of a discharge from industry to the marine environment.

In my job I help companies that are making new medicines to show that those new medicines are safe, and that they work. To test these medicines, hundreds of people volunteer to take the medicine in a study called a clinical trial. When you look at the results of clinical, you have to use maths to see if the results could have happened by accident, or if they show that the medicine really works.
