If you visit the homepage of the Network Pages you may get the impression that we focus entirely on communicating mathematics through writing articles. But there is much more!
We invest a lot of time in developing other means of communicating mathematical results as well. On the Network Pages you can also find, for example, science illustrations and videos.
Additional to these, we also invest time and energy into exploring the opportunities that animations and simulations offer! Have a look at our updated website with a complete list of the animations we have developed until now. An example is shown below, a simulation of a network with communities where a spread of an infection is shown.
These animations were developed by Robert Fitzner and Martijn Gösgens from the Eindhoven University of Technology. Feel free to use them for educational and scientific purposes! We would like to ask you though to mention the Network Pages and link to the website whenever you use an animation. If you have suggestions or wishes for specific animations or simulations, you can contact us at editor@networkpages.nl. Thanks in advance!
Together with Arnaud Bom from Analytic Storytelling, we decided to promote some of the articles on the Network Pages because of the creative writing techniques the authors used. We want to share these writing tips with you so that you can apply them in your writings!
Back in 2015, I joined the Movember health movement, a movement that you probably have heard of having something related to men growing a moustache. As a woman, you might imagine, I did not join for the moustache thing, but rather for the cause behind the moustache symbol, that is, raising awareness of prostate and testicular cancer.
On a quiet afternoon, professor Meth is working in her office in Leiden on some tantalizing mathematics problems. Suddenly, someone knocking on her door nervously disrupts the silence.
A mathematician once told me that problems that are very simple to state can be very deceiving, and sometimes turn out to be extremely difficult to solve. One such problem was the Four Color Problem.
