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.
Entropy: From fridge magnets to black holes 
Entropy is the hero of our story – bringing together physics at every scale.
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.
From steam engines to the limits of physics 
Come on a fantastic journey from some of our oldest ideas about physics to the biggest mystery of the modern age!
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!
What is the generation time of a disease? 
To work out how a disease will spread you need to know the time between infections.
New understanding of a neglected disease 
New research reported at this year's Black Heroes of Mathematics conference is changing lives around the world.
Can data science help rebuild our trauma networks? 
Can mathematics help reshape our hospital networks?
Balancing the equations of a low carbon energy network 
Generating electricity without the use of fossil fuels is not just an engineering and industrial challenge, it is also a huge mathematical challenge.
A richer view of the inside 
The mathematics of tomography has revolutionised modern medicine by allowing us to see inside a person's body and saved countless lives. Now new mathematics is being developed to give us an even better view.
