Want facts and want them fast? Our Maths in a minute series explores key mathematical concepts in just a few words.
As COP28, the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference, kicks off we look at how maths can help understand the climate crisis.
How do you create dramatic film out of mathematics? We find out with writer and director Timothy Lanzone.
Mathematics plays a central role in understanding how infectious diseases spread. This collection of articles looks at some basic concepts in epidemiology to help you understand this fascinating and important field, and set you up for further study.
Find out why the formula we use to work out conditional probabilities is true!
- We talk about a play that explores the fascinating mathematical collaboration between the mathematicians GH Hardy and Srinivasa Ramanujan.
In a couple of short essays available online at http://www.spacetime.nu I argue that time is actually a discontinuous manifestation of elastic oscillations of the fabric of the universe.
The Big Bang would presumably be the event that induced the oscillations.
This also reconciles Newtons absolute time with the relativity of Einstein as well as with simultaneity, which at the end of the day leads up to a possible explanation of timedilation.
