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.
This might be not related to the subject in some senses, but is a question in my mind. Browsing Wikipedia and others for understanding a mathematical topic often made me unsatisfied. Because I see that I should read an ambiguously written and hardly symbolized content just to find out the concept while it is already simply understood. Why do mathematicians try making understanding things which are simple too hard? I believe that from those guys there are many love to write just their names on 10 pages full of formulas (completely personalized use of Greek letters) while the simple solution is just writing their names! for introduction. It is simple recently (if not whole the history) mathematicians have serious fear if they provide solutions understandable, they are not knowledgeable! There is a very big but missed difference between symbolization which is for simplification of understanding and demonstrating concepts and encrypting thing.
