Want facts and want them fast? Our Maths in a minute series explores key mathematical concepts in just a few words.
How is frequency related to pitch? Hear the music we love emerge from pure mathematical beats.
We talk to Stuart Johnston who uses mathematics to find out how noise pollution in the oceans impacts whales.
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!
While scientists admit that they really don't know about two important factors in the development of galaxies in the universe, namely dark matter and dark energy, evolution is left behind a much easier to inspect historical crime scene. Evolution makes very exact predictions about what we will find in the historical evidence and very little surprises us in terms of our fossil record, DNA, mutation and selection. When we look beyond our own galaxy we are still surprised by what we find. Galaxies too light to be held together, galaxies accelerating away from each other.
