Plus magazine
Issue 46 of PlusEvolution is the main theme of this issue. With Darwin's anniversary year not too far off, we find out how to reconstruct the tree of life and how to spot the fingerprint of natural selection. We report on the rapidly melting Arctic, bound to destroy much of evolution's achievements, and explore the maths used in ice and ocean models. Plus you can learn how to best distribute money amongst your employees without evolving envy.
Plus is an internet magazine which aims to introduce readers to the beauty and the practical applications of mathematics.
