Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly reflecting shapes to tile a surface, researchers uncovered a method that links ...

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 ...

Neuromorphic computers, inspired by the architecture of the human brain, are proving surprisingly adept at solving complex ...

Complex Hessian equations extend the classical framework of the complex Monge–Ampère equation by involving the m-th elementary symmetric function of the eigenvalues of the complex Hessian. This ...

Researchers uncover the mathematical structure behind mesmerizing tiling patterns, linking their visual appeal to the ...

The artist Nikolas Bentel’s newest creation is a chrome purse in the shape of an orb that warps light, creating a mesmerizing reflection of the world around it. It’s a fun accessory, but it is also ...

Ordinary people see beauty in complex mathematical arguments in the same way they can appreciate a beautiful landscape painting or a piano sonata. Ordinary people see beauty in complex mathematical ...

To mathematicians, equations are art. Just as many are moved by a painting or piece of music, to those who appreciate and understand math, expressions of numbers, variables, operations and relations ...

ADVISED. THANKFULLY, NO ONE WAS HURT. WELL, HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. SOME STUDENTS IN PLACER COUNTY ARE GETTING AN EYE OPENING ANSWER TO A QUESTION. SOME OF US MAY HAVE EVEN ASKED WHEN WE WERE KIDS. THAT ...
