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 ...

Solving an equation means finding the value or values for which the two expressions on each side of the equals sign are equal. One of the most common methods used to solve equations is the balance ...

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

Back when I was taking math classes, the bane of my existence was always the one homework question that I couldn’t figure out, despite my best efforts. For whatever reason, I got tangled up in some ...

Most engineering labs have digital oscilloscopes, but many engineers don’t fully explore their features. Among the more interesting features of a digital oscilloscope is its math channel, which can ...

OS X's search tool, Spotlight, does more than just file and web searches. The handy utility also can be used to do semi-complex math equations with the answers appearing within the results section of ...
