Performing analog computations with metastructures is an emerging wave-based paradigm for solving mathematical problems. For such devices, one major challenge is their reconfigurability, especially ...

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 ...

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 ...

Yu Deng of the University of Chicago links Newtonian mechanics and the Boltzmann equation, advancing Hilbert’s Sixth Problem ...

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 ...

Daniel writes guides on how to use the internet, explainers on how modern technology works, and the occasional smartwatch or e-reader review. He especially likes deep diving into niche topics that ...

Areas of pure math such as algebra, analysis, combinatorics and many others can be used—in some cases combined—to solve the complex math problems arising from applications of math to the real world.
