How multidisciplinary work was made meaningful for me

[** Serge **]

Some time ago, I was looking at a funding body’s policies and came across the word ‘trans-disciplinary’. I am sure that I am not the only one amused by the proliferation of the prefixed-disciplinary family (multi-, inter-, intra-, cross- …). As a mathematical modeller I have worked at the interface between different disciplines for some time and a common question is: how do these whatever-disciplinary teams work ?
