By identifying and applying the key rules governing the behaviour of each individual, agent-based modelling offers insights into complex phenomena like traffic jams and flocking.
New research on parallel universes forces cosmologists to come to an uncomfortable conclusion.
Why can't meteorologists call the weather correctly every time? Blame the battle of the weather models.
There's a surprising amount in common between ancient ways of thinking about the future and the techniques we use now.
Gerrymandering is being hotly debated around the US. Can math help us figure out how to divide the country up fairly?
There's little research into origins of the geographic patterns of language diversity. A new model exploring processes that shaped Australia's language diversity provides a template for investigators.
Repetitive patterns from windows, blinds and stairs are really uncomfortable to look at.
The in depth story of a student project that paved the way for a society-level shift in how we use computers.
Scientists are using detailed computer models of the ocean to trace debris back through the currents to the potential crash site.
It's 30 years since the release of Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Here's why he got away with it.
Millions of people die or suffer from infectious diseases each year. Computer modelling can now help simulate the impact of any spreading disease.
Computer modelling can help predict where a species will best survive, especially those affected by climate change.
Are regular bettors and the house helped or hurt when deep-pocketed, high-volume computer-assisted bettors are wagering? Mathematicians used game theory to model this new wrinkle in parimutuel betting.
Computers could help Blackjack players get much better at card counting in the future.
Scientists of all kinds turn to computer models to investigate questions they can't get at any other way. Here's how models work and why we can trust them.
Why are animals still being used in drug development and what are the alternatives that could end their use altogether?
Big data is all well and good, but if we want medical breakthroughs, we'll need big theory too.
Computer simulation and 3D printing are allowing scientists to develop faster, safer ways to test medical devices without installing them in live humans or animals.
Scientists have used maths to explain why some cats' fur makes them look like they're wearing a tuxedo.
