Are you a woman in STEM who is passionate about mathematics? Can you commit to quarterly mentoring sessions with senior high schoolers in the Girls in Mathematical Sciences Program (GMSP) over a nine-month period? Very often, the transition from senior high school to tertiary education is critical in defining the lifelong career journey of every
Many people are constantly fixated on the abstract nature of mathematics and whether it is evidently applied to everyday life, most importantly its contributions outside academia. A very practical example of the application of mathematics to industry especially in the production of goods and services to consumers is through product line optimization based on data

The late 19th century saw major controversial notions springing up. Determined to disprove the existence of atoms, the famous Max Planck – German physicist, went into researching and subsequently made a discovery which rather proved the idea, converting him to a committed atomist. Addressed by a number of names including quantum mechanics and quantum theory,
It has been eight years since the Mastercard Foundation partnered with the AIMS network, a journey which began in November 2014. The goal over the years has been for the foundation to provide support to 30% of AIMS admitted students, with a keen interest in women.
