First formulated in the late 19th century by Austrian physicist and mathematician Ludwig Boltzmann, this principle remains ...

Mathematical analysis and modelling is an important part of infectious disease epidemiology. Application of mathematical models to disease surveillance data can be used to address both scientific ...

Applied Mathematical Models in Human Physiology, by Johnny T. Ottesen, Mette S. Olufsen, and Jesper K. Larsen, introduces mathematicians to real applications from physiology. Using mathematics to ...

How to predict actions and reactions of things invisible to human eye? Physicists now show that there may be a preferred strategy for selecting mathematical models with the greatest predictive power.

Mathematical prediction models are better than doctors at predicting the outcomes and responses of lung cancer patients to treatment, according to new research. The researcher says she considers it ...

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 ...

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 ...
