As long as it relates to the degree you are applying to then it should be fine.

I did....I applied for Computer Science and I mentioned a Maths-related thing I did in year 9 (when I was 13) because it linked really well with what I was going for.
I took part in the Royal Institution Masterclasses organised by Leeds University where we looked at a bunch of problem solving stuff, including the Josephus Problem, which combines mathematical analysis and recursion to determine the solution.
I dressed this sentence up a bit obviously for my personal statement but that was the rough summary.
