      It depends on how you define cool. I use maths as a language to understand how the universe works (I’m a physicist) and I love how amazing it is!

      Yes, definitely. Some people can find maths scary and intimidating so they are really impressed when you use maths as part of your job.
      It’s also really cool when you can show them how the maths works and they are not as intimidated of it as before.
