Environmental science is an interdisciplinary field which seeks to find effective means of understanding and managing the world in which we live. In particular, environmental scientists incorporate social science subjects to provide understanding relating to human relationships, perceptions and policies towards the environment.

It involves not just fire behaviour but also animal ecology, human ethics, social science, engineering, politics, environmental law, health science and mathematics.” Pathway from school to bushfire risk analysis • At school and post-16, take maths alongside other science subjects like biology and chemistry.

Engineering combines maths and science to solve real-world problems, so studying maths, physics, chemistry and computing at school will all be useful when applying for an engineering degree at university. Study social science subjects at school to learn about the human side of engineering challenges.

When I was younger, I always loved math and science. I started studying chemistry because it seemed like something I would be able to get a job in. I soon realised I was more interested in biology because you can see the systems you are working with, so I switched degrees.

Pappas (2016) reported that people were less apt to hire a woman for a (fictitious) job solving math problems the stronger their beliefs were that males are better than females in mathematics.

PATHWAY FROM SCHOOL TO CLIMATE SCIENCE. Study maths and at least one science subject at A-level. These are likely the entry requirements for a climate science or related degree at university. Many universities offer degrees in Earth or ocean sciences. South of Iceland – the weather is not usually this nice!

We can still ask, though, whether the mathematics—or science—that humans choose to study might manage to live solely in pockets of computational reducibility. But in a sense the ultimate reason that “math is hard” is that we’re constantly seeing evidence of computational irreducibility: we can’t get around actually having to compute things.

I could write down equations and do math. So for me it was obvious: if I couldn’t figure out things myself with math, I should use a computer. It wasn’t something one could readily see with math. But it really wasn’t physics, or computer science, or math, or biology, or economics, or any known field.

And indeed particularly in chemistry and engineering it’s often been in the background, justifying all the computations routinely done using entropy. There was also a sense that regardless of its foundations, the Second Law was successfully used in practice.

In 2015 Ed told me a nice story about his time at Caltech: In 1952–53, I was a student in Linus Pauling’s class where he lectured Freshman Chemistry at Caltech. He was convinced you could not do [math] by typing it. After class, one day, I asked Pauling “What is a superconductor at the highest known temperature?”
