DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Mathematical models have been much in the news recen
 tly They have been used to make predictions of the growth of Covid-19\,  t
 o work out what is happening in climate change\, and even to ‘predict’
  A-level results.  But how do these models work\, how reliable are they\, 
 and can we trust them enough to advise government policy. In this talk I w
 ill talk about how mathematical models are constructed and tested\, how th
 ey can be applied and what their limitations are. The talk will focus on t
 he application of mathematical models to Covid-19 and Climate prediction\,
  and will include a practical demonstration of chaos.
