Studies that map the adaptive value of viral mutations hint at how the COVID-19 pandemic might progress next. Mathematically modeled “landscapes” that describe the relative fitness of various mutations can in theory be used to project how SARS-CoV-2 and other viruses could evolve in the future.

Kurt Gödel’s incompleteness theorem [published in 1931] states that in any reasonable mathematical system there will always be true statements that cannot be proved. The result was a huge shock to the mathematical community, where the prevailing view was an unshakeable optimism about the power and reach of their subject. Läs mer [The Guardian]

Adults Learning Mathematics (ALM) is an international forum for the exchanging of ideas, practice, and research at all levels. Läs mer och anmälan [ALM]

Children exposed to elevated levels of air pollution may be more likely to have poor inhibitory control during late childhood and poor academic skills in early adolescence, including spelling, reading comprehension, and math skills. Difficulty with inhibition in late childhood was found to be a precursor to later air pollution-related academic problems. Interventions that target

Navigation doesn’t always go as planned — a lesson that flies learn the hard way, when a strong headwind shunts them backward in defiance of their forward-beating wings. Fish swimming upriver, crabs scuttling sideways, and even humans hanging a left while looking to the right contend with similar challenges. How the brain calculates an animal’s

I skolan presterar flickor i allmänhet bättre än pojkar i matematik. Ändå väljer de sällan utbildningar inom naturvetenskap, teknik och matematik. Är flickors ”relativa förmåga” förklaringen? Läs mer [forskning.se]

Ämnesbetyg planeras att ersätta kursbetyg i gymnasieskolan. Det gäller alla ämnesplaner för gymnasieskolan, gymnasiesärskolan, komvux på gymnasial nivå och komvux som särskild utbildning på gymnasial nivå. Läs vidare [Skolverket]
