Careers with maths: a set of three posters from Plus

Back in 2004, we produced a set of posters about careers in maths, with the support of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research council. The posters were phenomenally popular. Copies were initially sent to the maths departments of most secondary schools in the UK, and continued to be requested by students, teachers and other Plus readers over the years, both from the UK and overseas. Unfortunately we have run out of printed stocks but you can still download and print them yourself.

Career interview: Cost engineer

Heather MacKinlay's work as an engineer has taken her from the civility of Surrey to the wild west of Australian mining towns and multibillion pound projects in the Algerian desert. And along the way she has also become a successful painter. Heather tells Plus that engineering and painting are just different ways of looking at the world, and how her work as a cost engineer is all about understanding the big picture.
