      I use maths in almost all the work I do. I don’t really do *experiments*, but I do something quite similar.

      Basically, I solve complicated equations which we don’t know the answers for. They’re so hard you need a computer to solve them. The answers make predictions about things that happen in science. So it’s like doing an experiment because you don’t know what will happen and then you run the computer program to test it.
