Being able to determine the future is a great way to get money. From fairground games to the stock market, knowing what will happen is a great advantage. But even if we don’t know for certain, statistics and probability can help us make valuable predictions. In this session, Sophie gives an introduction to the world of finance and shares some of the Maths she used working as a trader.About the speaker: Sophie Maclean (she/her) is a Maths Communicator and a member of the team behind Chalkdust Magazine. She gives Mathematics talks to theatres and halls full of school children up and down the UK (and has even spoken at a school in Prague!). She has previously worked as a Quantitative Trader, a Software Engineer, and a Maths tutor (but not all at the same time!).
