Calculus is the key to much of modern science and engineering. It is the mathematical method for the analysis of things that change, and since in the natural world we are surrounded by change, the development of calculus was a huge breakthrough in th

How can we be sure that Pythagoras's theorem is really true? Why is the'angle in a semicircle'always 90 degrees? And how can tangents help determine the speed of a bullet? David Acheson takes the reader on a highly illustrated tour through the histor

Mathematics is full of wonder and surprise, and I had my first big mathematical surprise at the age of 10, in 1956.I was keen on conjuring at the time, and came across the following ‘mind-reading’ trick un a book.Write down a 3-figure number.Any
Food Borne Illness is a common, costly, yet preventable public health problem. This issue of the Infectious Disease Clinics covers the most common food borne pathogens, along with articles that include indentifying, diagnosing, and treating food born

Vibrios are ubiquitous in the aquatic environment and are commonly present in or on shellfish and other seafood. A small subset of strains/species are able to cause human disease, including the cholera toxin-producing strains of Vibrio cholerae that

Cryptosporidium species are protozoan parasites that cause mainly enteric illnesses in humans and other animals. The mode of transmission is most commonly waterborne, but other sources of infection, including foodborne and person-to-person spread, ha

A seemingly paradoxical experiment is described whereby a length of wire is stabilized upside down by vertical periodic oscillation of its support. The experimental results reveal an upper and a lower bound on the excitation frequency for stability.

Listeria monocytogenes emerged as an important foodborne pathogen in the latter part of the 20th century. Clinical syndromes caused by this microorganism include sepsis in the immunocompromised patient, meningoencephalitis in infants and adults, and

We investigate the novel set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations x = x (y —1) — βz , y = α(1 — x 2 )— ky and z = x-λz, where x=dx/dτ, etc. They govern the behaviour of two (mathematically equivalent) self-exciting homopolar dynam

It has long been known that a simple rigid pendulum can be stabilized against small disturbances in its upside-down state by rapid vertical oscillations of its pivot. Over part of the parameter range for which this happens we find that there is a sec
