Does it pay to be nice? Yes, it does. And we're not just talking about that warm fuzzy feeling inside, it pays in evolutionary terms of genetic success too. We talk to Martin Nowak about how the mathematics of evolution prove that being nice is unavoidable.
Why do penalty takers not heed the advice of statisticians? We find out with a little game theory.
Markov chains are exceptionally useful tools for calculating probabilities, and they might increase your chance of getting to the beach!
Can physics shed new light on understanding language? An exciting new approach that brings together theoretical physics, mathematics and computer science might give us a new way to capture what makes a language unique.
Groups occur all over mathematics, so it makes sense to find a common language to talk about them all.
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.
Learn about magical mathematical methods for fixing errors on the fly.
