In a previous article we introduced the problems that can arise when combine the reproduction ratios of a disease in different settings, such as hospitals and the community. In this article we dive into the maths that helps you get to the bottom of these problems.

We explore why you need to be extremely careful when combining the reproduction ratios of a disease in different settings, such as hospitals and the community.

An urgent call has gone out to the scientific modelling community to help fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. Two Cambridge mathematicians are helping to lead the charge.

What is a particle phenomenologist?

A hundred years ago Ramanujan was elected FRS. Here is a look at the maths that gained him the title.

Peter Scholze has received the Fields medal 2018 for transforming arithmetic algebraic geometry.

Physics is all about observation. But how much can we actually see with the naked eye?

The limits to what we can observe are not only a matter of science, but also of politics and economics.

Observing the smallest building blocks of matter doesn't involve seeing in the ordinary sense.

There are limits to how much you can simultaneously squeeze the quantum fuzziness of an electron's position and momentum

Cambridge researchers, the BBC, and thousands of citizen scientists have created a revolutionary infectious disease data set.

Cambridge mathematicians and physicists remember their most famous colleague with fondness.
