Want facts and want them fast? Our Maths in a minute series explores key mathematical concepts in just a few words.
The COVID-19 pandemic has amplified the differences between us. Understanding these inequalities is crucial for this and future pandemics.
Now it's the turn of mathematicians to help to improve the communities of the future.
There have been accusations that the modelling projecting the course of the pandemic was too pessimistic. Are they justified?
We all know what turbulence is, but nobody understands it.
Find out about the beautifully intuitive concept that lies at the heart of calculus.
Well done. I am a long since accomplished musician and have known these things for some time. Just as one of your other readers said about knowing the whole thing, I must agree. I have been struggling with Precalculus and its seem to have to do with the inability to switch over my problem solving skills with the guitar to math. The math training has helped my guitar playing tremendously and I was pretty talented before hand. The study of lifting (x) value zeros from polynomials has pushed a natural technique shift into using hammering open notes back to the root note for the respective key. An example would be the D to open E relation ship within descending riff at the end of "Extreme's Hole Hearted." chord progression. Before the math training I was perhaps playing it correctly, now I play it intelligently. You have a unique ability to explain simplicity along side complexity. Excellent work sir. Make some money at it.
