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 ...

In a recent study, mathematicians from Freie Universität Berlin have demonstrated that planar tiling, or tessellation, is much more than a way to create a pretty pattern. Consisting of a surface ...

The team has improved the capabilities of physics-informed neural networks (PINNs), a type of artificial intelligence that incorporates physical laws into the learning process. Researchers from the ...

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 ...

The New York State Education Department is pushing new math guidelines that include recommending teachers stop quizzing ...

In theory, almost any aspect of the physical world can be modeled and analyzed mathematically. In practice though, performing the mathematical manipulations required to perform an analysis can rapidly ...

TWA is one such semiclassical approach that dates back to the 1970s, but is limited to isolated, idealized quantum systems ...

Plurisubharmonic functions form a central tool in the study of several complex variables, offering a robust framework for analysing complex phenomena via potential theory. These functions, which are ...

That's right — Day 2 of Short Wave's Favorite Episodes Week is pure math goodness! In this encore episode, we revisit a conversation with mathematician Ranthony Edmonds. She reminds us that the idea ...
