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.
Cute quotation from Knuth - however Knuth was wrong. Brouwer would have no problem with the statement 'either it is raining outside or it is not raining outside' because he knew you could go and look. He did not insist on your actually looking. He had a problem with things like König's lemma - not quite the same. I have a problem with things like König's lemma too, but in the great scheme of things it is not very important.
