From more accurate climate modelling to the prospect of truly creative computers, the brain’s use of noise has a lot to teach us.
As the coronavirus pandemic continues, and the colder weather approaches, new mathematical models are needed to study changing social behaviours and indoor spaces.
We wanted to find out which biological phenomena are crucial for pattern formation and which are just incidental. These sorts of questions can be answered with mathematical modelling.
Lord May was an illustrious scientist, a towering figure in the British establishment, and a quintessential Aussie. His theories help explain everything from complex ecosystems to financial markets.
Policy-makers at various levels of government rely on models and simulations to make predictions about controlling the spread of COVID-19.
An audio version of an in depth article on why mathematical modelling is crucial to understanding pandemics like the new coronavirus.
It’s based on a combination of mathematical modelling, computer simulation and historical data from other pandemics.
Currently, the number of confirmed global COVID-19 cases is doubling about every six days. At this rate, Australia’s health sector will be unable to cope.
Mathematical modelling is capable of saving lives, assisting in policy and decision-making, and optimising economic growth.
Everyone will benefit from wider HPV vaccinations.
Mathematics researchers have developed a technique for detecting autism that could eventually make a diagnostic process faster and less stressful for children and families.
Applied Epidemiological Modelling has enormous potential to improve how decisions are made about public health in African countries.
