Want facts and want them fast? Our Maths in a minute series explores key mathematical concepts in just a few words.
Generating electricity without the use of fossil fuels is not just an engineering and industrial challenge, it is also a huge mathematical challenge.
In this podcast author Coralie Colmez shares insights into her novel The irrational diary of Clara Valentine.
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.
Inverse problems are mathematical detective problems. They can help solve crimes, are used in medical imaging, and much more.
"A probability of 10^-90 can be written as 0.000..00001%, where there are 89 zeros between the decimal place and the 1."
That's 87 zeros, not 89, due to the percent sign. Not that it matters much with this specific number, but it's still a hundred times off and reflects a systematic error, and on a website on maths it kind of matters.
