Mathematical tools

Tom Crawford explores how mathematical models turn questions about the world into equations that can be investigated. Examples range from relativity and infectious-disease modelling to his research on the spread of pollution in the ocean. The lecture also applies modelling to video games, sport and partner selection, illustrating how the same mathematical tools can clarify problems across very different settings.

…machine learning with a variety of mathematical tools to group neuronal morphologies into stable classes. We show that different methods perform optimally on different use-cases. Thus, we propose a combination of tr
