Want facts and want them fast? Our Maths in a minute series explores key mathematical concepts in just a few words.
Generating electricity without the use of fossil fuels is not just an engineering and industrial challenge, it is also a huge mathematical challenge.
In this podcast author Coralie Colmez shares insights into her novel The irrational diary of Clara Valentine.
We talk to early career mathematicians who spent some of their summer holiday solving problems posed by industry — such as how to blend a perfect smoothie!
Don't like plant-based meat alternatives, but want to spare animals and the environment? There's hope on the horizon, aided by a good helping of maths.
Inverse problems are mathematical detective problems. They can help solve crimes, are used in medical imaging, and much more.

But I would like to know why did they use (2x/m) as its height? And I would like to break that question into two
1) having ax on the small triangle's base implies that there's a relationship with the base and it's height. What is the relationship? Isn't it two separate events?
2) Similar question to "m" how does the "m" in the height have any relation with the "m" that's being used for amount of crops that can grow in a sqft.
Because if the height was replaced with a "y", the whole formula wouldn't exist eventho it may or may not equals to 2b/m.
