The 2023 Kyoto Prize Laureate in Basic Sciences, Professor Elliott Lieb presents snapshots of his seventy-year journey through the world of science, first as a would-be engineer, then as a physicist and later as a mathematician and a mathematical physicist. In many encounters with colleagues in different areas of research he learned that mathematics and a mathematical perspective can be pivotal in developing our thinking about physics. This fundamental connection between mathematics and physics was not always accepted at the beginning of my career, and it was even vigorously denied by some mathematicians and physicists. Lieb mentions some of his work to illustrate the value of mathematical physics for theoretical physics and to pure mathematics, the first being the Polaron bound found with K. Yamazaki in Kyoto in 1957. Another is the "ice problem", where he calculated the number of ways to color a chess board with only three colors so that neighboring squares never have the same color.

SciFest, Ireland's largest and most inclusive second level STEM fair programme took place recently, and it aims to give students of all abilities and backgrounds the opportunity to develop research, problem solving, critical thinking, and presentation skills. Participation in the SciFest programme is free at all levels. Since its foundation in 2006, SciFest has grown from a single STEM fair of 170 students to 99 STEM fairs with 10,000 students participating around the country. Ronan talks to Diarmuid Hayes one of the SciFest finalists. Diarmuid talks about his background, the SciFest National STEM competition, his SciFest project, Benford's law and how he proved how accurate Ireland's Covid data is. More about Diarmuid: Diarmuid Hayes is a student at Coláiste Iognáid, Galway. Diarmuid investigated a a law in nature called Benford's Law that all data follows. If the data does not follow Benford's Law, then the data is likely fake and possibly manipulated either on purpose or accidentally. He subsequently developed a dashboard test that incorporates Benford's Law, statistical and graphical techniques to test if data is real or fake. The platform is a user-friendly application so that anyone can test data quickly and efficiently. His innovative project will be helpful for scientists or students to be used as an analytical tool to check that their data is not biased in any way and will help identify if images or videos are fake or real so that public can be made aware of fraud, fake news, or scams.

Statistics is the branch of mathematics”, this is the simplest definition of statistics that we all have learned during the initial stage of academics. The major difference between both statistics and mathematics is seen in the purpose and application of the disciplines.There were several other issues that I was facing while working on the assignments based on them. Then to eliminate the complexities I took assistance from the experts of My Assignment Services
Social media and big data can have important practical applications in public health, disaster management, transportation, and urban planning. Data scientists are using machine learning algorithms, computer vision, and natural language processing to collect and analyze social media data (such as Facebook and YouTube) and environmental sensor/camera data to study human communications and movements. These big data technologies can be powerful tools to predict short-term future events, such as flu outbreaks, severe air pollution, traffic congestion, the weather, and patterns of disaster evacuation. At the same time, these technologies monitor users’ digital footprints, opinions and geolocations. Ming-Hsiang Tsou, PhD discusses the challenges in social media analytics, including data noise and biases, fake news, and data privacy. Series: "Exploring Ethics" [Show ID: 35460]

Statistics is the science of data: measuring and assessing uncertainty and more generally, learning from data. Since scientific, technical, and social disciplines all need to make conclusions based on data, statistics provides them with tools essential for their advances. From player stats to computer models to simulate the effects of climate change statistics play a key role. Series: "Lawrence Livermore National Lab Science on Saturday" [Science] [Show ID: 31524]

Modelling pollution in the Great Lakes: a review - for iBooks
This is the fifth and final unit in the MSXR209 series on mathematical modelling. In this unit we revisit the model developed in the first unit of this series on pollution in the Great Lakes of North America. Here we evaluate and revise the original model by comparing its predictions against data from the lakes before finally reflecting on the techniques used. This unit assumes you have studied Modelling pollution in the Great Lakes (MSXR209_1), Analysing skid marks (MSXR209_2), Developing modelling skills (MSXR209_3) and Modelling heat transfer (MSXR209_4).

This unit is the first in the MSXR209 series of five units that introduce the idea of modelling with mathematics. This unit centres on a mathematical model of how pollution levels in the Great Lakes of North America vary over a period of time. It demonstrates that, by keeping the model as simple as possible extremely complex systems can be understood and predicted.

Graphs are a common way of presenting information. However, like any other type of representation, graphs rely on shared understandings of symbols and styles to convey meaning. Also, graphs are normally drawn specifically with the intention of presenting information in a particularly favourable or unfavourable light, to convince you of an argument or to influence your decisions.

This unit is the second in the MSXR209 series of five units on mathematical modelling. In this unit you are asked to relate the stages of the mathematical modelling process to a previously formulated mathematical model. This example, that of skid mark produced by vehicle tyres, is typical of accounts of modelling that you may see in books, or produced in the workplace. The aim of this unit is to help you to draw out and to clarify mathematical modelling ideas by considering the example. It assumes that you have studied Modelling pollution in the Great Lakes (MSXR209_1).
