Contagious maths, Part 3: Everybody is different 
In Part 3 Julia refines our model to use one of the most important numbers in disease modelling. And there's a chance for you to explore its meaning using a new interactivity.
Contagious maths, Part 4: Get moving! 
In the final Part we explore what other aspects we need to consider to make a model more realistic. There's an interactivity that allows you to party, commute, and visit friends and we find out more about what life as a research is like from Julia.
Contagious maths, Part 5: Meet the researchers! 
In this final part, you can meet the researchers themselves and find out about the real research questions that Julia and some of her colleagues are working on!
AI be the judge: The use of algorithms in the criminal justice system 
Could AI help judges deliver fair and transparent sentences? A recent study group involving law experts and mathematicians explored the challenges involved.
A tip of the hat: Celebrating an aperiodic monotile 
Here's a look at the shape that can tile the plane in a non-repetitive pattern — and some of the creative uses people have found for it.
The holographic principle 
Over the last few decades physicists have been developing a curious idea. Perhaps the world we inhabit is a hologram, lacking a crucial feature of the world as we perceive it: the third dimension.
e for exponential 
At the beginning of an epidemic the number of infected people grows exponentially. But why does the number e appear in descriptions of this growth?
The doubling time of a disease 
The doubling time of a disease is the time it takes for the number of cases of the disease to double. How do you calculate it?
