El catorze de mar\u00e7, tradicionalment el Dia de Pi, \u00e9s tamb\u00e9 el Dia Internacional de les Matem\u00e0tiques<\/strong> que, enguany, es celebrava sota el lema \u201cMatem\u00e0tiques per a un m\u00f3n millor\u201d amb la intenci\u00f3 de posar de manifest el transcendental paper que aquestes han jugat i juguen en la gesti\u00f3 de la pand\u00e8mia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Per aquest motiu, la Biblioteca de Ci\u00e8ncia i Tecnologia ha acollit entre el 12 de mar\u00e7 i el 9 d’abril la mostra Matem\u00e0tiques i COVID<\/strong><\/a>, coordinada pels professors \u00c0ngel Calsina<\/strong> i Xavier Mora<\/strong> del Departament de Matem\u00e0tiques<\/a> de la UAB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I com a resultat s’ha creat aquesta p\u00e0gina web que recull i, en alguns casos, amplia la informaci\u00f3 i els materials exposats a la vitrina de la Biblioteca.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sir Ronald Ross (1857-1932), premi Nobel de Medicina el 1902:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a matter of fact all epidemiology<\/strong>, concerned as it is with the variation of disease from time to time or from place to place, must be considered mathematically<\/strong>, however many variables are implicated, if it is to be considered scientifically at all<\/strong>. To say that a disease depends upon certain factors is not to say much, until we can also form an estimate as to how largely each factor influences the whole result. And the mathematical method of treatment is really nothing but the application of careful reasoning to the problems at issue<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cent anys m\u00e9s tard, aquestes paraules es veuen plenament confirmades en el paper que estan tenint les matem\u00e0tiques en la lluita contra la COVID-19<\/strong><\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
