OBJECTIVES Differential attainment in school examinations is one of the barriers to increasing student diversity in medicine. However, studies on the predictive validity of prior academic achievement and educational performance at medical school are contradictory, possibly due to single-site studies or studies which focus only on early years' performance. To address these gaps, we examined the ...

We give an explicit polynomial of degree 14 in three real variables x, y and z such that the zero set gives the solid trefoil knot. The polynomial depends on two further parameters which enable a deformation from an embedded torus. We use only elementary methods such that the proofs are also accessible to graduate math work groups for pupils in secondary schools. The results can be easily visua...
