A lokacin karatunta, ta mai da hankali kan ilimin lissafi na zahiri (applied mathematics) da kuma tarihi na kimiyya, musamman kan rawar da lissafi ya taka wajen ci gaban ka’idodin kimiyya kamar na Newton da Einstein. Ta kuma ji daɗin bincike kan yadda mata masana kimiyya suka ba da gudummawa ga kimiyya a karni na 18 da 19, kamar Émilie du Châtelet da Mary Somerville.

Robyn Arianrhod tana aiki a matsayin ƙwararriyar bincike a Sashen Lissafi na Jami'ar Monash, inda ta koyar da lissafi da kuma tarihi na kimiyya. Bincikenta ya ji daɗin fahimtar yadda lissafi ya zama harshe na duniya don bayyana ka’idodin kimiyya, musamman a fannin ilimin falaki da kimiyyar lissafi. Ta kuma bincika yadda al'adun tarihi suka shafi ci gaban kimiyya, ciki har da rawar da mata suka taka a cikin fannonin da maza suka mamaye a tarihi.

A cikin littafinta Einstein’s Heroes, Arianrhod ta bayyana yadda lissafi ya taimaka wajen fahimtar ka’idodin kimiyya na masana kimiyya kamar Isaac Newton, Michael Faraday, da James Clerk Maxwell, sannan ta nuna yadda aikinsu ya haifar da ka’idar haske ta Einstein. Littafin ya sami yabo saboda yadda ya sauƙaƙa ra'ayoyin lissafi masu wuyar fahimta ga jama’a da ke da ƙarancin ilimin lissafi.

A cikin Seduced by Logic, Arianrhod ta mai da hankali kan rawar da mata masana kimiyya suka taka, musamman Émilie du Châtelet, wadda ta fassara da kuma sharhi kan aikin Newton, da kuma Mary Somerville, wadda ta ba da gudummawa ga fahimtar kimiyyar Newton a karni na 19.
