What is chaos? A complex systems scientist explains
Chaos evokes images of the dinosaurs running wild in Jurassic Park, or my friend's toddler ravaging the living room.
A research team at the Complexity Science Hub Vienna (CSH) wanted to know for sure. Jana Lasser, then working in Peter Klimek's team at the CSH and MedUni Vienna and now a scientist at Graz University of Technology, developed a school simulation model that shows how and how likely the virus spreads in different school settings. The model also allows to calculate the effectiveness of (bundles of) measures against virus spread.
In 2019, mathematicians finally solved a math puzzle that had stumped them for decades. It’s called a Diophantine Equation, and it’s sometimes known as the “summing of three cubes”: Find x, y, and z such that x³+y³+z³=k, for each k from one to 100.
On the surface, it seems easy....See more
