Matt Turner gave a seminar today (Thursday 17 October), at the Isaac Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Cambridge, on “Time-dependent conformal mapping techniques applied to fluid sloshing problems“. In the presentation he demonstrated how time-dependent conformal mappings can be used to construct a fast and effective numerical scheme for examining two-dimensional, inviscid, irrotational fluid sloshing […]

The paper “Modelling election dynamics and the impact of disinformation” by Dorje Brody has been published in the journal Information Geometry (link here). The dynamics of electoral competition is modelled by the specification of the flow of information. The seemingly random evolution of the election poll statistics are then derived as model outputs, which in […]
