Extract

I could not resist combining the theme of BCME7 (Mathematical Progressions) with some thoughts on my personal journey and a focus on how mathematics can enable people to progress in so many areas. I like the double meaning tied up in the conference theme. It not only relates to some very interesting mathematics but also shows how mathematics enables progression in many areas. I am going to indulge myself on the way with some glimpses into my own journey through mathematics and the influences on the choices I made. I will also explore such influences more widely, as well as possible implications for teaching, learning and professional development.
