Ghana’s Dr. Angela Tabiri is the first African to win ‘The Big Internet Math Off’, a global competition where mathematicians make complex ideas easy to understand.
Once set on studying business, she found her true passion in maths, leading to a PhD in quantum algebra.
Now, she’s mentoring girls, breaking STEM stereotypes and shaping Africa’s future in quantum science.
Africa Daily’s Alan Kasujja spoke to Dr. Tabiri about her win and the power of numbers.
