Do Superstar Athletes Have Superior Brains?

from Part-Time Genius · host iHeartPodcasts and Kaleidoscope

Network flows must be managed reliably under uncertain demands, uncertain supply, emerging network technologies and possible failures and, further, prices in related markets can be highly volatile. Mathematicians working with engineers and economists, can make significant contributions to address such issues, by helping to develop fit-for-purpose models for next generation energy systems.
