Follow in the footsteps of Isaac Newton
Follow in the footsteps of great mathematicians Take inspiration from Isaac Newton, an English mathematician who made many well known discoveries in maths and physics. Newton is most famous for his laws of motion, and the idea of gravity which he contemplated while witnessing apples fall.

Follow in the footsteps of Mary Cartwright
Take inspiration from Mary Cartwright, a British mathematician, who was the first woman to receive a first class degree in mathematics. Cartwright is known as the woman of many firsts, because she was also the first woman to be elected to the Royal Society and was one of the early mathematicians to work on what would become chaos theory.

Follow in the footsteps of Sophie Germain
Follow in their footsteps Take inspiration from Sophie Germain, a French mathematician, who studied and discussed maths with prominent mathematicians under a pseudonym because of the prejudices against women of the time she lived in. Germain lived through the French Revolution and embodied the spirit of revolution through her achievements in number theory and mathematical physics under a male name in a time where women were not mathematicians.

Srinivasa Ramanujan
Follow in the footsteps of Srinivasa Ramanujan
Follow in their footsteps Take inspiration from Srinivasa Ramanujan, an Indian mathematician who had little to none formal Maths training. Ramanujan made significant contributions to number theory and made discoveries concerning the partition function, after not attending university and learning most of his maths in isolation.
Joan Clarke and her quote Code Breaker, Bletchley Park, Alan Turing

Bletchley Park
Alan Turing
Follow in the footsteps of Joan Clarke
Follow in the footsteps of great mathematicians Take inspiration from Joan Clarke, the only female code-breaker at Bletchley Park. Clarke worked alongside Alan Turing to decode the Enigma and later became the head of that team although she was paid less and prevented from progressing due to being female. A lot of what happened at Bletchley Park is still a mystery due to the secrecy of war, but it is clear that Clarke made a huge contribution and saved many lives with her work.
Alan Turing and his quote Turing Test, Enigma Machine
Turing Test
Enigma Machine
Follow in the footsteps of Alan Turing
Follow in the footsteps of great mathematicians Take inspiration from Alan Turing, labelled the father of modern computer science, because of his work during the second world war where he developed the first modern computers and decoded the encryption of the German Enigma machines. Turing also defined a test for artificial intelligence (AI), known as the Turing Test, which determines whether a computer is able to think like a human being.

Ada Lovelace
Digital Computer
Follow in the footsteps of Ada Lovelace
Follow in the footsteps of great mathematicians Take inspiration from Ada Lovelace, who is referred to as the first computer programmer. Lovelace created a program for Charles Babbage’s prototype of a digital computer. Since she was young, Lovelace investigated and examined the world around her, in particular birds because of her desire to fly. Every year Ada Lovelace is celebrated on October 15th to highlight the contributions to maths and science made by women, which are often overlooked.

Carl Friedrich Gauss
Follow in the footsteps of Gauss
Follow in the footsteps of great mathematicians Take inspiration from Carl Friedrich Gauss, a mathematician that contributed to number theory, probability, geometry, astronomy and many other areas of maths and science. Gauss is considered on the greatest mathematicians of all time. If you have studied or read about topics such as probability or electromagnetism it is hard to go without hearing his name, with Gaussian distributions and Gauss’s law being key concepts in their respective fields.

Fields Medal
Follow in the footsteps of Maryam Mirzakhani
Follow in the footsteps of great mathematicians Take inspiration from Maryam Mirzakhani, the first Iranian and the first women to receive the Fields Medal, the “Noble prize of mathematics”. In high school she qualified for the International Mathematical Olympiad as the only Iranian woman alongside her friend, and later went on to study several branches of theoretical mathematics.
Drawing of Euclid and his quote Teaching Math, Chemistry

Chemistry
Follow in the footsteps of Euclid
Follow in the footsteps of great mathematicians Take inspiration from Euclid, often titled the “founder of geometry”. Euclid compiled and reworked the mathematical concepts of those before him into Euclid’s Elements, a book that is considered fundamental to mathematics and in particular geometry. A lot of the maths taught in school today can be found in this book.

Follow in the footsteps of Dorothy Vaughan
Follow in the footsteps of great mathematicians Take inspiration from Dorothy Vaughan, a computer programmer at the U.S. space program that would later become NASA. She became the first black female supervisor at NASA, where she advocated for women and helped NASA prepare for the introduction of machine computers. Before becoming a “human computer” at NASA, Vaughan worked as a high school Maths teacher.

Hypatia
Follow in the footsteps of great mathematicians Take inspiration from Hypatia, ancient Alexandria's great female scholar. Hypatia was considered the greatest mathematician and astronomer of her time, she overcame the sexism of society and was the leader of the Neoplatonist school of philosophy in Alexandria, where she found many loyal students as a great teacher.
