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.

We continue our exploration of the potential use of AI in sentencing.
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?
How can we use mathematics to model the spread 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?
What is the growth rate and what does it tell us about an epidemic?
What is herd immunity and what does it have to do with a number called R?
We guide you through an exciting recent breakthrough in the world of topology, involving something called the telescope conjecture.
