Rasheed Adeoti, founder of the Emerging Minds Foundation, graduated with a First Class from the Department of Mathematics, University of Ilorin, in the 2022-2023 session. This passion was contagious and motivated many of us to go beyond the standard curriculum and explore areas like machine learning on our own. I appreciated how the department balanced pure and applied mathematics, even though the emphasis was slightly skewed toward pure mathematics. Additionally, the fact that machine learning relies so heavily on mathematical principles makes it a natural fit for me. What advice do you have for students who aspire to achieve the kind of academic success you have achieved?
