Safer shipping by predicting sand wave behaviour
Dutch researcher Joris van den Berg has developed a mathematical model to predict the movement of sand waves. Sand waves are formed by an interaction between the tidal current and sand. view more (2007-07-13)
140-year-old math problem solved by researcher
A problem which has defeated mathematicians for almost 140 years has been solved by a researcher at Imperial College London. view more (2008-03-04)
Systems properties of insulin signaling revealed
A team of Swedish researchers has characterized novel systems properties of insulin signaling in human fat cells. Their mathematical modeling, described in an article published June 20th in the open-access journal PLoS Computational Biology, provides further insight into energy level maintenance (via the hormone insulin) within our bodies. view more (2008-06-20)
Free software brings affordability, transparency to mathematics
Until recently, a student solving a calculus problem, a physicist modeling a galaxy or a mathematician studying a complex equation had to use powerful computer programs that cost hundreds or thousands of dollars. view more (2007-12-07)
IAH appoints new Head of Epidemiology
The Institute for Animal Health is pleased to announce that Dr Matthew Baylis has been appointed as Head of the Division of Epidemiology. Dr Baylis will take charge of a re-structured division responsible for experimental epidemiology and mathematical modelling of a number of infectious diseases across the Institute's three laboratories at... view more...

Marine fossils improve predictions of climate change
A study of the ancient Mediterranean Sea will help to produce more accurate predictions of climate change. A team led by Royal Holloway geologist Dr Michal Kucera will map sea-surface temperature of the Mediterranean over past millennia. The data will provide a new target to test the computer models on which our predictions of climate change are... view more... (2002-06-06)
The Value of Variation: Ecologists Consider the Causes and Consequences
Consider the case of the three-spine stickleback. These tiny fish that thrive in oceans and in fresh water might appear to be the same, yet ecologists are finding that they are actually a diverse collection of very specialized individuals. view more (2009-07-23)
Model offers new understanding of cell signaling
Looking for answers in the bright light of day, rather than the confined beam of a street light at night. That's how University of Michigan researcher Sofia Merajver, M.D., Ph.D., describes the power of a new mathematical model that could have far-reaching impact on how scientists study cellular signaling pathways. view more (2008-03-25)
Worrying about Maths just makes it worse
People who worry about their ability to do mathematics are hampering their chances of doing well. Worrying about mathematics means that vital psychological resources are used which impacts on an individual's ability to solve arithmetic problems. view more (2005-03-21)
The theory of the chaos against the corrosion
In the modern science the word "chaos" is used for the description of systems, behaviour of which seems quite random. However, mathematical modeling methods aid to find an inner order in they. A deterministic chaos theory that allows predictions of physicochemical and even biological processes was developed for the description of complex systems. view more (1999-08-24)
Applying mathematics to industry
A recently established centre at the University of Leicester is gearing up to meet the needs of business and industry through a new outreach programme. view more (2002-10-29)
New computing tool could lead to better crops and pesticides say researchers
A new computing tool that could help scientists predict how plants will react to different environmental conditions in order to create better crops, such as tastier and longer lasting tomatoes, is being developed by researchers. view more (2009-09-23)
Maths Matters
From the maths of bell-ringing to the geometry of gothic windows, Maths Matters, the annual conference of the Mathematical Association, promises to be a memorable mathematical extravaganza. The conference, which takes place at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in April, will be opened by TV presenter Johnny Ball, who will share something of his... view more... (2003-02-25)
Materials' crystal properties illuminated by mathematical 'lighthouse'
A deeper fundamental understanding of complex materials may now be possible, thanks to a pair of Princeton scientists who have uncovered a new insight into how crystals form. view more (2008-01-18)
Polluted ground water poured into a model
Dutch researcher Phil Ham has developed mathematical models to calculate the natural degradation capacity of polluted groundwater. view more (2006-04-19)
Researchers determine why wolves not dispersing as fast as expected in Yellowstone
In 1995, 14 wolves were transferred to Yellowstone National Park in the U.S. from the Canadian Rocky Mountains, with 17 more joining them the following year. view more (2006-11-02)
Mathematical model identifies genes which battle hepatitis C
Joint research by Dr. Leonid Brodsky, of the Institute of Evolution of the University of Haifa, and Dr. Milton Taylor, of Indiana University, led to the discovery of a mathematical method which can identify which genes in our bodies conduct the battle against the various viruses that attack us. view more (2007-07-20)
Loughborough-led project launched to help engineers learn mathematics
A Loughborough University-led project is seeking to boost the key academic skills of future engineers by helping them to improve their mathematical skills. The three-year study - Helping Engineers Learn Mathematics, or HELM - is being led by Dr David Green and Dr Joe Ward from Loughborough University and is being conducted in partnership with the... view more...

Why the brain has 'gray matter'
By borrowing mathematical tools from theoretical physics, scientists have recently developed a theory that explains why the brain tissue of humans and other vertebrates is segregated into the familiar "gray matter" and "white matter." view more (2006-01-12)
Counting sheep in climate change predictions
Climate change can have devastating effects on endangered species, but new mathematical models may be able to aid conservation of a population of bighorn sheep. view more (2009-06-01)
