Introducing an indispensable tool of mathematical logic.
Something from nothing?If you can prove that a statement can't possibly be false, does this mean it's true?
Heisenberg's uncertainty principleThere are limits to how much you can simultaneously squeeze the quantum fuzziness of an electron's position and momentum
Citizen science: Schumann resonancesResonant electromagnetic waves, created by lightning flashes, circle the Earth. Wim Hordijk explores the maths and shows how you can keep track with these phenomena.
Arithmetic billiardsNeed to find the least common multiple or greatest common divisor of two numbers? A billiard table of the right proportions holds the answers!
The maths of randomnessRandomness is surprisingly hard to define. Fortunately the mathematical language we use to describe it is beautifully well defined.
The maths of randomness: symmetrySymmetry is one of the two guiding principles in understanding probabilities – if different outcomes are equivalent they should have the same probability.
