Want facts and want them fast? Our Maths in a minute series explores key mathematical concepts in just a few words.
Here's our coverage from the International Congress of Mathematicians 2022, including the Fields Medals and other prizes.
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.
Dear Dr. Billingham
Thanks for the wonderful lesson and story. I am a 30 year old adult and have always been a bit short on Mathematics knowledge. Lectures/lessons like yours help me to stay motivated to learn mathematics even at this point of age.
In the first part of the story, you said the number of the frogs have to a whole number, and the number that the Princess saw was 23.2, do you think 23.2 is a whole number?
Thanks.
