Statistics is a field of mathematics that gives us the ability to ask interesting questions, like “How effective is this medication?” or “What will happen to these boys when they reach adolescence?” and then be able to draw conclusions with a reasonable chance of getting right answers. Math can be used to build models showing
The African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) Ghana invites applications for a two-year Master of Science in Mathematical Sciences for Teachers (MMST) program for the 2022/2023 academic year.

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. Qualified, yet economically disadvantaged Africans are the target, ensuring
