Edward Shin teaches physics and mathematics. He believes that pupils should learn about the magnificence of pure mathematics and science as well as their social applications, and that rivalry between the ‘pure’ and ‘applied’ sides should not detract from education. His interest in both sides is shown by his stints in academic research (astrophysics), and then in public policy (transport and biotechnology), before he joined the teaching profession. Edward is Head of Mathematics at a leading Melbourne government school. He has also worked in examination development and assessment for the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority.
