Introduction to complex analysis

...2) is differentiable at every point of double-struck cap r minus zero . This reflects the fact that complex differentiation imposes a much stronger condition on functions than does real differentiation. Indeed, as the course progresses, you will see that differentiable complex functions have remarkably pleasant properties. For example, if a complex function can be...

Gold: Medicine for the Brain

...2 nm in diameter. Because of their small size, they have a large surface area and physical and chemical properties which can easily be manipulated. The unique properties of the gold surface mean we can attach different therapeutic molecules (such as drugs, DNA and antibodies) to their surface. As gold nanoparticles can bear a high drug load, this makes them ideal carriers...

...2 million views at the time of writing. He states the UK government’s strategy was not his idea and identifies himself as a Podiatrist, not an epidemiologist. His stated intent is to “amplify the people who ARE experts". By this he means “people like the excellent Prof Whitty and Sir Patrick Vallance (as opposed to all the overnight virologists I see in the...

Europa: Jupiter’s ocean world

...2 flyby missions began sending images back to Earth, there was very little evidence of impacts. Instead, Pioneer 10 showed the ice was largely smooth and flat, with dark red and light patches, and Voyager 1 showed a surface covered in intersecting dark red lines (now known as lineae) (Figure 2). [Photograph of Europa taken by Voyager 2 - it shows approximately half of...

Kinematics of fluids

...2 introduces a scalar field, called the stream function, which for an incompressible fluid provides an alternative method of modelling the flow and finding the streamlines. Sections 2 and 3 derive the stream functions for several simple two-dimensional flow types (the uniform flow, source, doublet and vortex), and suitable combinations of these are used to model...

Methods in Motion: Politics is awash with large emotions... isn't it?

...Le Pen’s fury at the state of France. It’s difficult to look anywhere and see politics as anything other than a sea of turbulent feelings, which poses several problems for social scientists interested in making sense of contemporary social action and political life. The first is how do we know how people feel? Surveys – whether opinion polls or sociological...
