Mathematical models have become an integral part of cancer biology. They are useful tools for deriving a mechanistic understanding of dynamic processes in cancer. The somatic evolutionary process, ...

A new study introduces choice engineering—a powerful new way to guide decisions using math instead of guesswork. By applying carefully designed mathematical models, researchers found they could ...

There’s a body of historical African examples that universities can use to teach a more inclusive mathematical sciences curriculum. GettyImages Some researchers argue that it’s not. They cite numerous ...

This is the seventh in a series of newsletters that have been discussing a seldom-mentioned IT discipline – Application Performance Engineering (APE). In this newsletter we will discuss the limits of ...

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 ...

Mining is one of the industries that’s helped by mathematical modelling: models can predict ceiling collapses and keep miners safe. Sunshine Seeds/Shutterstock/For editorial use only Imagine dropping ...

A mathematical model is a description of a system using mathematical concepts and language. The process of developing a mathematical model is termed mathematical modeling. Mathematical models are used ...

The first step in model-building is to note some simple observable patterns and to establish their degree of empirical generalisation. The second step is to integrate different empirical relationships ...
