Using maths to predict in just three minutes how a tsunami will behave
A maths team from the University of Malaga has created a computer system that simulates the behaviour of a tsunami. With a few equations and a computer solving them, in barely three minutes they can determine how a tsunami will spread, its speed, which zones will be affected and when the wave will arrive.
Francisco Gancedo, mathematical equations to describe natural phenomena
Francisco Gancedo is the first scientist who has managed to describe with equations how a wave rolls. Despite his young age, he has a bright career in research. He has been awarded by the Royal Spanish Mathematical Society and currently works at the Faculty of Mathematics of the University of Seville thanks to a Starting […]
