Connecting you with the University of Missouri’s innovative research and creative activity“As Far as the Pi Can See”
A visit with Carmen Chicone, Professor of Mathematics
The Fundamental Importance of Science
Topics:
equations
physics
Chicone discusses the fundamental importance of mathematics for the natural world, observing that mathematics serves an array of practical purposes. He gives the example of one of his students, who freezes tissue for a project in cryobiology. The researchers working on this project are using mathematical models to make predictions about the behavior of living cells.
