Everything we do is based on some mathematical structure, and although

mathematics is often considered abstract, it is fundamental to how we

understand nature, the larger universe, with its time and space dimensions

and a myriad of uncertainties.

The Covid-19 pandemic brought mathematical modeling to the forefront

of public attention and debate. Vocabulary such as ‘flattening the curve’ has

become part of the collective lexicon. Governments all over the world rely on

mathematics not only to forecast the epidemic but also to understand social

issues like vaccine hesitancy.

Mathematics has allowed for pivotal improvements

in weather prediction and has applications

in agriculture and fisheries. With new

mathematical approaches, a tropical

cyclone’s track can now be predicted up to

1 week in advance giving communities

time to evacuate, and potentially

saving lives and reducing economic

losses.

The Mathematics for Action toolkit focuses

on engaging stories of mathematics in

action. Written by mathematicians and

thought leaders from across the globe,

it presents fascinating research of how

mathematics is addressing the world’s most

pressing challenges.

The toolkit provides insightful information for decision-makers and for all

those who seek proofs to challenging questions and it presents new avenues

for scientific research.
