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.
I could follow through up to the triangular field example. I suspect that there is some factoring and cancelling going on.
Nevertheless, I found this article useful in explaining WHY we have quadratic equations, and knowing why we have them helps me understand why/where/how we might apply them in real life situations. This was never taught to me at school. Instead, we just had to recognise when an equation was quadratic, learn the formula, then apply it.
