@MaamaBedazzle The lowest common multiple (LCM) of 8 and 12 is the smallest positive integer that is divisible by 8 and 12. Step 1: List the first multiples of 8 and 12. Multiples of 8 = (8, 16, 24, 32, 40).Multiples of 12 = (12, 24, 36, 48, 60).Therefore, LCM (8, 12)= 24.

One way to start is to do study groups with industry. Here, industry partners work with academics mathematicians on problems of direct industrial relevance. These platforms enable knowledge transfer between the two parties. Such workshops have been ongoing in Europe since 1968.

The important part is to start and keep going. Stay in your lane and learn from the past.
I have a very very genuine question: Is it possible to start afresh at 30 and still succeed, or is it typically considered too late?.

Thank you @IvanNiwaha .for encouraging girls to do maths.
@asiimwe4justice @fatuhaire12 As a teacher of mathematics and physics,I believe math & physics are subjects for all, however girls tend to fear them. I last year put gifts for all the girls that got A in mathematics,. Several girls got them,I gifted them Casio calculators each. I promised them more . .

Folks who have completed or are currently doing their PhD: .If you were to have received a small welcome packet at your desk on Day 1 of your PhD, what would you want it to include? Some ideas: Post-its, a fun pen, highlighters, stapler, candy. What else?.

The joy of doing something challenging. You delve deep into a particular area and gain immerse knowledge. Intellectual simulation. Learning and trying new things. Meaning contributing to a specific field.
What is your favourite thing about doing a PhD? I think I need to see some positivity on the TL.

A woman choosing a career in Academia, means signing up for a longer period of study. We are asked lots of WHY. If single, we are told the few men who'd want us are already taken, we are labelled arrogant, over-educated, unsubmissive! I wonder what questions male colleagues get🤔
