Blacksburg, Va. -- As mathematics continues to become an increasingly important component in undergraduate biology programs, a more comprehensive understanding of the use of algebraic models is needed ...

At its heart, data modeling is about understanding how data flows through a system. Just as a map can help us understand a city’s layout, data modeling can help us understand the complexities of a ...

One use of mathematical models of epidemics is thought experiments to aid scientists in reasoning from premise to conclusion in complex systems. Quite a few models of the Covid-19 pandemic have now ...

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, physical models were widely used by mathematics educators to depict a wide range of mathematical ideas in three dimensions. Most models were constructed in ...

"What's the difference between mathematical optimization and machine learning?" This is a question that — as the CEO of a mathematical optimization software company — I get asked all the time.

Researchers have developed a three-dimensional mathematical model of prostate cancer. The model depicts various processes, including tumour growth, genetic evolution and tumour cell competition.

A simple mathematical model has helped chemists selectively synthesise a novel interwoven catenane structure. Researchers say ...
