Participation in mathematics post-18: Undergraduates ’ stories (original) (raw)
Abstract: This paper reports on some of the social and emotional complexities young people negotiate, consciously or otherwise, when applying to study at university and presents reasons for why good candidates for mathematics degrees may not opt to study mathematics. The research comes from one strand of the UPMAP project which is seeking to understand profiles of participation in mathematics and physics. Data analysed come from narrative-style interviews which were conducted with first-year undergraduates who had A level mathematics and who were studying a range of subjects at university.
