אודות פרק זה
In many places, fire seasons keep getting longer with larger and ever more destructive wildfires. Teams of mathematicians, computer scientists, meteorologists, and firefighters are working to reduce the number of large fires before they happen and to contain those that do occur. Mark Finney talks about the math involved in modeling and fighting wildfires.

Karen Rios Soto explains how mathematics illuminates the link between air pollution from motor vehicle emissions and asthma.
Air pollution causes the premature deaths of an estimated seven million people each year, and it makes life worse for all of us. People with asthma can experience ch…
Malena Espanol explains how she and others use linear algebra to correct blurry images.
Imagine snapping a quick picture of a flying bird. The image is likely to come out blurry. But thanks to mathematics, you might be able to use software to improve the photo. Scientists often deal with b…
Stacey Finley from University of Southern California discusses how mathematical models support the research of cancer biology.
Cancer research is a crucial job, but a difficult one. Tumors growing inside the human body are affected by all kinds of factors. These conditions are difficult (i…
Imelda Flores Vazquez from Econometrica, Inc. explains how economists use mathematics to evaluate the efficacy of health care policies.
When a hospital or government wants to adjust their health policies — for instance, by encouraging more frequent screenings for certain diseases — how do …
Rodney Kizito from U.S. Department of Energy discusses solar energy, mathematics, and microgrids.
When you flip a switch to turn on a light, where does that energy come from? In a traditional power grid, electricity is generated at large power plants and then transmitted long distances. Bu…
