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.
This is an excellent article! I studied and played classical piano as a youth for 8 years and I've now worked professionally in the music industry for 26 years. Your article articulated in mathematical but layman's terms what I've known in my heart all along but could not express. Why is music so stirring to the human soul? We are made from the same equations! The groundbreaking gravitational waves just detected in the Cosmos were found to emit a note on our sensors at a humanly perceptible frequency similar to.....you guessed it! Middle C! Gravitational waves as old as the Cosmos itself, 13.7 billion years old. Like seeing a snapshot of the Big Bang itself. And their ghost emits a tone perceived by the human ear and brain as middle C! Music moves humans so deeply because....we are all MADE of the same stuff as the Cosmos itself! I am an atheist and science is the only truth. Thank you for bringing readers closer to the truth.
