Kelly’s is provocative, to say the least. He suggests that at its core, good writing draws readers in by dropping certain kinds of references in a mathematical way that constitutes an “algorithm,” ...

In the late 1800s, more than a hundred years before smartphones and weather apps, a physicist discovered you could step outside on a summer night, listen carefully, and estimate the temperature with ...

In the dusty, book-filled tumult of the Jaipur Literature Festival, where the air thrums with the rhythms of poetry and politics, one might not expect to find a mathematician holding court. But there ...

Can a person like mathematics and art at the same time? Mohammad Asfaque, senior pure mathematics and economics major, has always been an enthusiast of art and choosing a major completely different ...

HYDERABAD: Scientists use mathematical models to explain why mosquito populations surge after rain, how species disappear without warning or why ecosystems recover when a missing element is restored.

Abstract: This third installment of the Beautiful Math articles considers the visualization of aesthetic patterns with hyperbolic-triangle-group symmetries. A flexible form of invariant mappings ...

It began as a strange discovery buried in chaos theory — a mathematical pattern that seemed to predict real events before they happened. From climate shifts to stock market crashes, scientists now ...

Prime numbers are sometimes called math’s “atoms” because they can be divided by only themselves and 1. For two millennia, mathematicians have wondered if the prime numbers are truly random, or if ...

Abstract: Schwarz-Christoffel mapping is an elegant theory that can preserve the structure of a pattern perfectly. One of the most important elements of conformal mapping theory, Schwarz-Christoffel ...
