In this podcast we explore how ants have helped humans to solve some very difficult problems.

Find out how these humble animals have inspired computer algorithms to solve complex real-world problems.

In time for pancake day here's a problem about flipping pancakes. It turns out to be surprisingly hard.

There are problems that are easy to solve in theory, but impossible to solve in practice. Intrigued? Then join us on a journey through the world of complexity, all the way to the famous P versus NP conjecture.
