The tip of the iceberg WORLD MATHEMATICAL YEAR 2000 Posters in the London Underground Supported by EPSRC is shaped by 80%of a floating iceberg is hidden below the Catastrophe ocean surface. As this part melts,the iceberg Theory can become unstable. It topples sideways-and the process starts all over again. Catastrophe Theory helps explain these instabilities.

WORLD MATHEMATICAL YEAR 2000 Posters in the London Underground Supported by EPSRC Magnetic fields deep within the Sun bubble up through its surface.They tangle and twist causing huge explosions which shoot ATHS HOTS UP material out into space. These Solar storms disrupt the Earth's environment, affecting communications navigation systems and power grids.Maths helps us to understand how these powerful storms occur.
