"It’s your last week to see “Mathematics: Vintage and Modern!” From the 1870s to around World War I, universities in Europe and North America acquired collections of mathematical models made from plaster, metal, paper, wood, and string. These models allowed students to see the geometry of complex functions, revolutionary to mathematics at the time. German mathematicians Felix Klein (1849–1925) and Alexander Brill (1842–1935) created some of the earliest models. Klein displayed a number of them at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exhibition in Chicago to promote the idea that students must visualize algebraic relationships through geometry. Today, algebraic geometry serves as a source of deep insight throughout mathematics.

"University of Idaho researchers have developed a mathematical model that simplifies the way scientists understand changes in glacier movement. This new approach demonstrates that diverse patterns of ice flow—ranging from short-term fluctuations to multi-year trends—can be explained using a single set of fundamental equations".

Simplified model enhances understanding of long-term glacier behavior and climate change implications

University of Idaho researchers have developed a mathematical model that simplifies the way scientists understand changes in glacier movement. This new approach demonstrates that diverse patterns of ice flow—ranging from short-term fluctuations to multi-year trends—can be explained using a single set of fundamental equations.

In this study, we compare the performance of 83 #MathematicalModels that can be used to estimate #ThermalPerformanceCurves across 2,739 datasets from a wide range of traits and taxa. We find substantial variation in model performance across thermal performance datasets.

Moreover, we show that it is not possible to accurately predict the most appropriate model for a given dataset on the basis of sampling resolution, trait type, or taxonomic information.

A critical system of Atlantic Ocean currents could collapse as early as the 2030s, new research suggests

A vital system of Atlantic Ocean currents that influences weather across the world could collapse as soon as the late 2030s, scientists have suggested in a new study — a planetary-scale disaster that would transform weather and climate.

A Computer Simulation of Your Body: Spaoin's ELEM Biotech has developed a computer-based mathematical model of the human body. It can be used for drug, prothesis, & clinical trial development. #ELEM #computer #mathematicalmodels #simulation #pharma #prosthetics #clinicaltrials

Howard G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "A Computer Simulation of Your Body This technology has at least 3 applications. Drug manufacturers wanting to pre-estimate clinical effectiveness and side effects of new medications. Medical device manufacturers wishing to see how a new cardiac valve or hip prosthesis might fare in the body. Contract research organizations looking for guidance as they design and implement clinical trials for another company. These are all potential clients for Spain’s ELEM Biotech. ELEM uses high-powered computers to create mathematical models of the human body and its organs. ELEM technology can predict drug distribution using a novel delivery system and blood flow patterns through a cardiac valve prothesis. This information is invaluable to companies developing products and can spare patients predictable risks and disastrous outcomes that could occur during a clinical trial. Another example of a riff on DuPont’s classic slogan: better living through computing. https://elem.bio/ #ELEM #computer #mathematicalmodels #simulation #pharma #prosthetics #clinicaltrials"

Mathematical Models of Evolutionary Rescue

IMPORTANT DATES Registration deadline: 1 March, 2023 Symposium: 5-8 June, 2023 The symposium starts on June 5 at 5pm and ends on June 8 in the evening. OVERVIEW Evolution can rescue populations from extinction. In conservation this is desired, in medicine it is often not. There has now been nearly 30 years of research under the banner of “evolutionary rescue”. A substantial proportion of this has been mathematical modelling. This theory has expanded from deterministic 1-locus and phenotypic...
