Want facts and want them fast? Our Maths in a minute series explores key mathematical concepts in just a few words.
A basic introduction to the most powerful tools in science and enginnering.
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!
Aren't these cameras dependent on the lighting conditions? Unless you get sufficient contrast the amount of computing to minimize these points is quite big.
Didn't they try thermal imaging? The new cryocooled infra red cameras cool their sensors to -40 centigrade which makes them very sensitive.
So we could measure the infrared heat signatures of trees and map them out.
I haven't tried this. I'm thinking each species of trees will show enough uniqueness in their heat signatures to be able to identify them.
