This paper presents the initial findings of my PhD study investigating science and engineering
undergraduates’ relationship with mathematics and the contexts that inform this relationship.
Thirty-two students completed an online questionnaire consisting of three open-ended
questions. The data was analysed using thematic analysis with both inductive (data-driven)
and deductive (theoretical) coding. A summary of the background, theoretical perspective and
conceptual framework will be presented followed by some initial results. Student responses
illustrating two emergent themes will be described
