Maths formulas could find missing MH370 Canberra, June 3: A series of complex mathematical formulas which were used to find the wreckage of Air France Flight 447 in 2011 could be used to solve the mystery of the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, Australian academics said Tuesday. It took two years but statisticians eventually found the Air France flight at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean using the complex formulas, Xinhua reported. Professor Michael McCarthy of the University of Melbourne said that optimal searching and Bayesian statistics were two maths formulas that can help the search effort of the missing Malaysian jet, which is concentrated across a vast area of the Indian Ocean off the west coast of Australia. This technique was developed in World War II to hunt for submarines also maps the probability of the presence of a target. newsbharati//Encyc/2014/6/3/122241.aspx
