What's Happening in the Mathematical Sciences looks at some highlights of the most recent developments in pure and applied mathematics. These include the mathematics behind stories that made headlines, as well as fascinating mathematical vignettes that never made it into the newspapers. Topics covered in this volume include the mathematics surrounding natural and manmade disasters, such as the 2009 H1N1 outbreak and the 2011 tsunami in Japan, as well as developments in the pure...
More DescriptionWhat's Happening in the Mathematical Sciences looks at some highlights of the most recent developments in pure and applied mathematics. These include the mathematics behind stories that made headlines, as well as fascinating mathematical vignettes that never made it into the newspapers. Topics covered in this volume include the mathematics surrounding natural and manmade disasters, such as the 2009 H1N1 outbreak and the 2011 tsunami in Japan, as well as developments in the pure mathematical realm, including the 2012 solutions to the Willmore and Lawson Conjectures. The stories in this book invite the reader into the exciting world of modern mathematics, which teams with the thrill of discovery and the anticipation of what is still to come.
