Yes, says mathematician and researcher Klas Modin, professor at Chalmers University of Technology. With the help of mathematics, he wants to understand how a storm arises. But finding structure in a storm and understanding it mathematically is no easy task. To succeed, Klas, as a Wallenberg Academy Fellow, looks back into the history of mathematics. By handpicking widely different methods and theories from the history of mathematics and physics, he and his research team have come closer to a solution.
