INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
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 (if not impossible) to recreate in the lab, and using real patients as subjects can be painful and invasive. Mathematical models give cancer researchers the ability to run experiments virtually, testing the effects of any number of factors on tumor growth and other processes — all with far less money and time than an experiment on human subjects or in the lab would use.

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 che…
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 bl…
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. But…
Imelda Flores Vazquez from Econometrica, Inc. explains how economists use mathematics to evaluate the efficacy of health care policies.
