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.
Yes you can. This is because any linear recurrent sequence such as the Fibonacci sequence approaches proportionality to the Golden Ratio raised to the nth power for the nth term (see Binet's formula for generalized linear recurrent sequences). This was conjectured by Johannes Kepler in Harmonics Mundi, published in 1619, and even earlier by a lesser known German mathematician Simon Jacobs.
