Maths and the real world: students calculate novel solutions to actual problems

If you've ever heard a student ask, 'how does this maths equation relate to real life?', 12 fellow students have answers. Hailing from Canberra’s Radford College and Baulkham Hills High School in Sydney’s north-east, based on this ability, they were selected from a pool of students from 10 other Australian schools to compete in an international applied maths competition.
