'I really enjoy Maths; the complexity fascinates me. The teachers are really supportive and have taught me many transferable skills especially problem solving.'

‘A mathematician, like a painter or a poet, is a maker of patterns. If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ideas.’

G.H. Hardy
