Today, I’ve learnt more about the criteria of a maths EE and now, I have a more thorough understanding of what is expected. I think a crucial thing I’ve recognised is that I need to be able to demonstrate sufficient understanding of game-theoretical models and prove that I am proficient in the topic of my EE.

One thing I’m proud of is that despite facing minor obstacles with the MacTeX software, I managed to focus on other aspects of my EE such as my introduction and the context of my models. Through this, I achieved a better understanding of the fundamentals of game theory which I know will help me write more confidently about the applications of game theory in the oil and gas industry.

Moving forward, I want to focus on refining the mathematics of my essay. After reading the criteria, I want to ensure that I’m constantly adopting a coherent structure and I’m confident with the game theory in my essay. I’m aware that it may often become very abstract, but I want to make sure I take the time to constantly try and understand all the mathematics to achieve my highest potential.
