Theoretical models are at the base and their utility lies in exploring potential mechanisms and scenarios. Next are models ...

Recent mathematical advances have made it more feasible to model cancer from a mathematical viewpoint. For example, we now have individual-based modelling techniques that better represent the ...

Deputy Director of the DSI-NRF Centre of Excellence in Mathematical and Statistical Sciences and Senior Lecturer in the School of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics, University of the ...

Historically, mathematical models in ecology have been used largely to provide qualitative explanations for patterns in nature. A classic example of this approach was the effort to use competition ...

Scientists have developed a mathematical model that predicts how the number and effects of bacterial mutations leading to drug resistance will influence the success of antibiotic treatments.

Medicine makers need to get better at math. Improved mathematical modeling would accelerate the move toward automated processes, cut production times, and reduce costs. Researchers Francesco Destro, ...

Writing is similar to three specific mathematical practices: modelling, problem-solving and proving, writes Caroline Yoon. Learn how to use these to improve academic writing I feel for my students ...
