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 ...

Predicting and controlling disease outbreaks would be easier and more reliable with the wider application of mathematical modelling, according to a new study. Predicting and controlling disease ...

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.

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 ...
