Geometry: A New Weapon in the Fight Against Viruses
Share
The Joint London Mathematical Society/Gresham College Annual Lecture
Viruses like the common cold look like tiny footballs and mathematics can therefore help to understand how they form and evolve. Our highly interdisciplinary approach in understanding and combating viruses, in which mathematics plays a key role, provides surprising new avenues in our fight against viral disease.
