Freer programming can help evolve the physics education

What role does programming play in physics teaching? Can programming be used to teach physical concepts? In his dissertation, Kim Svensson examines how the movement between formula, code and visualisation can contribute to learning in physics. In the future, Kim hopes that programming can be used in...

Mathematical model useful in pandemic planning

Using a mathematical model, researchers have been able to link confirmed covid-19 cases with intensive care admissions and deaths. The model, which allows prediction and planning of health care burden, could be valuable during the current pandemic as well as in future epidemics.
