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.
The golden ratio also shows up when solving the ancient geometric problem of squaring the circle using the yin yang method. Which I believe is the minimum amount of steps you can use to "solve" the problem. Interestingly, the circle represents the spirit, or metaphysical, and the square represents the physical world we live in and Phi is in between them. The square, which is the most basic 2 dimensional shape possible, represents this plane we live on and the circle, a 1 dimensional shape represents the spirit, Phi, which looks like a vibrating string in the solution is the beauty that bridges the two
