It is an incredibly useful field with a wide range of applications from biological and social sciences to computer animation and finance. Applied mathematics is essential to solving real world problems in many areas, and Anotida’s work goes far beyond his own research in theoretical and computational biology.

Their research sheds light on the significant role that social inequalities play in determining the outcomes of a pandemic. In light of the social inequalities highlighted by COVID-19, this knowledge has never been more important. Taylor and Lisa use death records as their main source of quantitative data for their research.

Make the most of your time at high school to develop skills such as public speaking, teamwork and leadership. I also teach GIS and data science classes, all with a geophysical component, and conduct research in these topics. I began my career in the technical side of GIS, but I have been wooed to the social sciences.

I’m not going to list them here, because there are other publications in the pipeline. I can give you a big meta-reason which probably isn’t a surprise to most education researchers but might be a surprise to many computer scientists: It’s not all about (or even mostly about) the technology.

As a high school student, Winnie had a passion for both math and the social sciences. Her teachers pushed her into the “easier” path of social sciences rather than encourage her interest in STEM subjects. And throughout my sort of high school experience, I’d been, you know, passionate about social sciences.
