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.
It is my admittedly simplistic understanding that the need or existence of time (in addition to matter and motion) has already been acknowledged. It is used in many equations. It is how we calculate speed, velocity, acceleration, and on and on. How can we explain what we observe in motion that is attributed to speed without the concept of time?
