Posters and Leaflets
Why should you take A levels in maths or statistics? Or even study these subjects at university? Taking a degree based on maths or stats does not mean that you have to become a mathematician. Maths is not a subject on its own, but a set of tools or way of thinking. Almost any area you can think of has a need for mathematicians. After all, how can you study the oceans if you don't understand the waves? Or develop new drugs against diseases if you don't know how to test whether they work or not?
This page offers a collection of posters and leaflets illustrating the thousands of careers that a maths A-level or degree can take you to. Take your pick!
