Yes, I work in engineering and use bits of maths, science, and computer science to solve problems. Lots of mathematicians and scientists use computer science, like writing some code to do tricky calculations or to automate things that would take a long time to do by hand!
There’s some maths – but nothing really beyond GCSE level. A bit of computer science (but mostly again first principals stuff) but a lot of experience and history of having seen lots of things that I can learn from. Sometimes that is all about people and how to deal with them, sometimes it’s more technology related. Everything you learn over the years has a role to play somewhere.
My job uses a lot of both but within the field of biology. I create computer models (based on maths equations) to predict how tumours will respond to cancer treatments. I am also starting a new project at the moment where I am looking at using AI and machine learning to predict differences between how patients respond to cancer treatments and try to find out what causes these differences.
