The Black-Scholes Equation
A brief introduction into the world of financial mathematics, with an explanation of what the Black-Scholes equation is and why it has quickly become so important.

The power of Bayes
An introduction to Bayes theorem, a powerful way of thinking that can influence the way you see the world and allow you to reveal the truth. A very limited use of percentages and probabilities are used to illustrate the ideas.
The Mandelbrot Set
Today I intend to present an elegant piece of mathematics which through it’s simplicity can give insight into seemingly disordered systems, along with producing imagery that looks more like a magic eye than mathematics.
The passage of light
In this post we consider the details of light, particularly the path it takes from A to B. Elementary science tells us this should be a straight line, so this should be a short article?
Newton’s Laws of Motion
Today we have a simple post which will break down Newton’s laws of motion so even the layman can understand them inside out (hopefully). Mathematical formula will be introduced, though no previous knowledge of mathematics is required to follow this through.
Simple harmonic motion
A technical post exploring simple harmonic motion. Some knowledge of mathematics is required for full comprehension – but don’t let that put you off. We are always on hand to answer any questions.
Life is so incomplete
Mathematics is the unspoken language of nature, in which we must strive to achieve fluency if we are to bask in the richness of the universe in which we are marooned.
Why skin a cat at all?
Schrödinger’s cat walks into a bar. And doesn’t.
There may be more than one way to skin a cat; but why are we skinning cats at all?
Don’t get snared by the logic trap
Zeno’s paradoxes; a paradox much older than Christ which the ancients loved to muse on. Intuition and logic at odds; but how do you resolve this mystery? Snared in the logic trap.
Pure breathtaking mathematical beauty
My personal silence is broken; I must apologise for the low level of activity on my part I have been very busy finishing up the first year of my second […]
