Information is supremely powerful, yet it can't be described by traditional physics. Constructor theory provides a potential answer.

We all now know about R, but sometimes it can be good to consider another number: the growth rate of an epidemic.

In a previous article we introduced the problems that can arise when combine the reproduction ratios of a disease in different settings, such as hospitals and the community. In this article we dive into the maths that helps you get to the bottom of these problems.

Mathematical models can help the nation return to (some sort of) normality.

How far can virus-carrying droplets fly in different environments — from buses to supermarkets? Maths can provide some answers.

We explore why you need to be extremely careful when combining the reproduction ratios of a disease in different settings, such as hospitals and the community.

How do mathematical models of COVID-19 work and should we believe them? We talk to an epidemiologist, who has been working flat out to inform the government, to find out more.

For over 250 years minimal surfaces have been playing hide and seek with mathematicians. But what are they and why are they interesting?

Find out how these humble animals have inspired computer algorithms to solve complex real-world problems.

How should the seats in the European Parliament be allocated?

How do green algae manage a perfect breaststroke even though they haven't got a brain? Enter the maths of synchronisation.
