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.
Inspiring, awesome, rare, synthetic, but clashes with Claude Bernard's view that you cannot apply mathematics to biology because it is too complex, However, that clashes with Francis Bacon's view, and lauded by Bernard, that inductive reasoning solves problems. From what I have painfully observed, deductive reasoning adds words, tenure, sabbaticals, Lancet and stagnation. In public, Darwin professed to being Newtonian, but in his diary and letters to friends, candidly noted that reasoning is eveything, such that "Origins' was 'one long argument." A contemporary wrote that "Origins" is incomprehensible.
The molecule envisioned by Planck and Schrodinger is carboxylic acid. Get inside it, and you will find the history of the universe.
