Watch the Full Episode Here:

Are you a math lover? This one’s for you! A conversation with Maneet Mahal, a Math Modeler from the Financial Sector who talks about her varying levels of math education, the technology she uses, and how she combines them to follow her passion. 

We cover topics like Financial Modeling, Statistics & Probability, Stochastic Calculus, Trigonometry, and Computer Programming Languages (Python, R, SAS, and C++).  As a #precalculus teacher, I was ecstatic to find applications of Trigonometry in her job!

A quick word about The Numeracy Report: this is a passion project where I want to bridge the divide in math education between math content and application. I want to help teachers, students, and parents understand the real-world use of the academic math being taught, with the hopes of inspiring students to build a foundation in math to serve as an asset in their future.
