Want facts and want them fast? Our Maths in a minute series explores key mathematical concepts in just a few words.
We talk to Stuart Johnston who uses mathematics to find out how noise pollution in the oceans impacts whales.
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.
I agree with you. Children also need to know that a quadratic equation is a way to describe a physical thing, such as the arch of a bridge. I never understood that and no one ever told me that. I figured it out on my own when, as an adult, I restudied math. If they could see that math is a descriptive language that we all make use of, whether we fully realize it or not, they would then A) more readily understand math, and B) see its worth rather than question its worth.
