Mathematics is more than just equations—it is the foundation of science, technology, engineering, and even the arts. It shapes the world around us. Here, we explore how mathematical principles drive advancements in engineering, computing, medicine, economics, artificial intelligence, and more. Whether you’re bored, seeking inspiration or just fascinated by numbers, this is your hub for all things maths.

Introduction Since around 500 B.C., the ancient Greek civilization introduced one of the earliest forms of democracy. Back then, voters would write their choices on broken pieces of pottery called ‘ostraka’. Imagine a world where the outcome of a major election isn’t just about the number of people
Mathematics
Imagine being told that the same useless numbers which you consistently label as redundant in the real world are in fact key to keeping your data safe from prying eyes. Every time someone sends a message, numbers keep your information safe and hidden so only the receiver can see it.
Mathematics
The Rubik’s Cube is far more than a colourful toy—it is a mathematical marvel that embodies the beauty of symmetry, structure, and problem-solving.
Mathematics
The natural world is filled with complex and unpredictable phenomena, from weather patterns to the dynamics of ecosystems and the stock market. At first glance, these systems may seem entirely random, yet there are often underlying deterministic laws governed by mathematics.
Mathematics
When attempting to estimate the population variance using samples, n-1 is used instead of n. Why is this the case? This article looks into the proof of Bessel's Correction and demonstrates its effects using data.
Biology
To many, prime numbers are a useless concept studied in maths and soon forgotten about, having no impact on the rest of our lives. While they do have some applications in computing and encryption, primes never seem to crop up in day-to-day life, remaining as “special numbers” that aren’t all that sp
Computer Science
(Warning: Maths ahead.) A quantum computer uses phenomena unique to the quantum world, such as the strange idea that something can be in two different states simultaneously. In this article, we’ll start with the smallest unit of quantum computing, the qubit, and work up towards a simple quantum algo
Mathematics
A projectile is an object which is launched with a particular velocity and is thenceforth subjected to the forces of air resistance and gravity until it collides with another object.
