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 ...

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.

It might be futile to try making machines that are fully human. Our abilities have been refined through a lengthy evolution.

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 ...
