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 ...

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.

There’s a curious contradiction at the heart of today’s most capable AI models that purport to “reason”: They can solve routine math problems with accuracy, yet when faced with formulating deeper ...

The instability of large, complex societies is a predictable phenomenon, according to a new mathematical model that explores the emergence of early human societies via warfare. Capturing hundreds of ...

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 ...

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 ...

New benchmark study results show leading AI models, including ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, still lag humans in visual math ...
