It is this diversity of application that intrigues me and makes me want to study it in depth. I feel it will give me logi

My interest in mathematics dates back to primary school - I have enjoyed the challenge ever since. Throughout my Olevels in Pakistan, I received merit c
4、ertificates not only for math but for all other science subjects as well. I have always marveled at the interrelation between these and math, and have always sought to explore their common underlying principles.An opportunity to do that was when I was among the 40 top candidates selected, from all o

Here I was not only exposed to wider prospects of knowledge, but was given an invaluable experience of interaction with like-minded people. I also gained useful communication skills and a great confidence boost.Due to a
6、 clash in my timetable during OLevels, I could not take Additional Mathematics at school. Nevertheless, I decided to study the course on my own initiative. I managed to grasp the syllabus concepts during year 11 and achieved 96% on the paper. This was a great sense of achievement for me and encourag
7、ement to pursue my interest further. Having had no formal lessons, I developed an independent, self-reliant approach to maths which I believe is crucial for university level study. Achieving the maximum number of A grades ever in my schools 25 year history, I was offered a full scholarship for ALeve

Due to my immense interest in singing I have always been in the school choir and participated in many competitions and festivals including one in which I performed a solo for an audience of 20

This required a high degree of leadership as well as organisational skills and involved an active role in the student council, which meant co
10、ordinating major social events and sport competitions where I was responsible for pulling together teams for my house. This experience invariably taught me to strike a sensible balance between academics and extra curricular activities. Last year I completed a work experience placement in an engineer

Although the work itself was not directly related to my field, it was useful in giving me an insight to a professional atmosphere.Im looking forward to experiencing university life - it will not only give me the academic
12、grounds to get into careers like actuarial science, research and commerce, but the social experience in itself is something to look forward to.Maths personal statementThe idea of proof has always held a real fascination for me. The process of starting from a simple set of axioms and deriving almost
13、any mathematical truth (putting Godel to one side) is what truly separates Mathematics from any other subject. It is the closest we can ever get to absolute truth, and therein lies its sheer beauty and the reason it is the only subject for me. Of course, its also a good deal of fun. I have tried to
14、extend my Maths as much as possible beyond the classroom, and whenever I do so I uncover either some completely new and intriguing area of Mathematics or a very neat trick I hadnt thought of in more familiar territory. One example of this is my attendance at weekly lectures given by the department o
15、f Mathematics at Bristol University, covering topics from the Mathematics of juggling to quantum mechanics, although some of my favourites have been those on the less exotic inequalities, which taught me a lot about thinking about problems creatively. I also attended a summer school run by the Natio
16、nal Academy of Gifted and Talented Youth at the University of Durham, where I spent two weeks being introduced to various approachable first year undergraduate topics such as proof by induction, Markov chains and using Maple. This experience not only allowed me to discover areas of Mathematics I would not otherwise have encountered, but also gave me a small taste of university life, as there was a large n
