Want facts and want them fast? Our Maths in a minute series explores key mathematical concepts in just a few words.
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.
Find out about the beautifully intuitive concept that lies at the heart of calculus.
I do not recommend this hotel.
The check-in process was surprisingly fast and easy, and we went up to our room. I stepped into the bathroom for the usual reasons, and by the time I was done one of the staff was there to inform us that, because an infinitely large bus had arrived, they had to move us to another room.
Which is absurd. Who makes infinitely large buses?
But oh well. They were lying to cover up some mistake. We moved.
An hour later later we moved again.
And every hour or so All. Night. Long.
Finally at 4 AM we gave up and left to look for another hotel. Ended up sleeping in the car.
