Differential equations are fundamental tools in physics: they are used to describe phenomena ranging from fluid dynamics to general relativity. But when these equations become stiff (i.e. they involve ...

Researchers from the Institute of Cosmos Sciences of the University of Barcelona (ICCUB) have developed a new framework based ...

A team of engineers has proven that their analog computing device, called a memristor, can complete complex, scientific computing tasks while bypassing the limitations of digital computing. A team of ...

You can probably think of a time when you’ve used math to solve an everyday problem, such as calculating a tip at a restaurant or determining the square footage of a room. But what role does math play ...

Let Πn = Πn(it, cosα), where n ≧ 2 is an integer, t ≠ 0 is real and 0 ≦ α ≦ π, be the class of trigonometrical polynomials Φn with real coefficients and of order ≦ n, such that |Φn(x)| ≦ 1 for all ...

For example, the simultaneous equations \(3a + 2b = 17\) and \(4a - b = 30\) have no common coefficient as the coefficients of \(a\) are 3 and 4, and the coefficients of \(b\) are 2 and -1. Remember ...

Alan Veliz-Cuba has received funding from the Simons Foundation and the American Mathematical Society for some of his research. You can probably think of a time when you’ve used math to solve an ...
