The Power of Mathematical Modeling

What do online rumors, computer viruses and zombie apocalypses have in common?

Hey! It’s Tivadar from The Palindrome.

This week, it’s my pleasure to introduce Manlio De Domenico, Ph.D., a fellow scholar working at the forefront of physics, mathematics, and computer science.

One of the main reasons behind the success of modern science is mathematical modeling, the process of translating complex real-life observations into a language that allows us to generalize, understand, and predict.
