It’s the most wonderful time of the year—for mathematicians, anyway. Pi Day is Friday, March 14. The relatively new holiday is a celebration of the mathematical calculation pi, or the infinite number ...

A mathematical trick speeds up seismic calculations for earthquake simulations and could revolutionize earthquake preparedness.

Researchers at MIT have found an unexpected way to make use of something electronics usually try hard to get rid of: heat. Instead of treating excess heat as a problem, the team showed that it can be ...

(Phys.org) —New research shows that to prevent starvation at night, plants perform accurate arithmetic division. The calculation allows them to use up their starch reserves at a constant rate so that ...

What Harvard University unblushingly described as “the world’s greatest mathematical calculating machine” was last week shown to newsmen. In the presence of high officers of the Navy, which gets ...

For a long time, mathematical modelling of social systems and dynamics was considered in the realm of science fiction. But predicting, and at once influencing human behavior is well on its way to ...
