Maths Appeal Ep 9 - Statistics / Anne-Marie Imafidon pt.1

02/09/19 • 32 min

The podcast could be described as above average this week as Bobby and Susan get to grips with statistics. Puzzle King Bobby puts on his dancing shoes for a Strictly-themed puzzle, and our guest is the brilliant Dr Anne-Marie Imafidon MBE, co-founder of Stemettes. In the first of a two-part interview, Anne-Marie tells us about her early love of maths, passing 2 GCSEs at the age of 10, and why she loves Galois theory just as much as she loves Beyonce.
