Microsoft Excel is a powerful tool for carrying out complex calculations. If you work on Excel, then you might come across performing mathematical operations almost every day. Sometimes, we face ...

A computer made from strands of DNA in a test tube can calculate the square root of numbers up to 900. Chunlei Guo at the University of Rochester in New York state and colleagues developed a computer ...

WILLIAMSTOWN -- William Wootters has a conundrum -- a mathematical conundrum. Wootters is a physics professor at Williams College, and on Thursday he's one of the presenters of the Williams Faculty ...

Let us look at some interesting facts about squares and square roots. A square and its square root are the reverse of each other. But what happens to squares and square roots of negative numbers? When ...

Originating in the 1920s as a sampling scheme for agricultural regulatory inspectors, the square root (Sqrt) of the lot size (N) + 1 was semiformalized in an unpublished report by the Association of ...

One of various computer programming languages, C is the most basic and widely used language, likely because it gives maximum efficiency and control to programmers. The C language can be used for ...

DNA is like software, telling our cellular and molecular hardware what to do – except it uses biochemical reactions rather than the electronic circuitry of computers we’re used to. Now, researchers ...

DNA, the molecule of life, turns mathlete. Using the natural zipping and unzipping behavior of DNA strands, researchers at Caltech have developed a new and adaptable method for turning the molecules ...

A new DNA computer calculates square roots of perfect squares up to 900. Like quantum computers, DNA computers are an exciting frontier of post-silicon computing. Where previous examples were up to 4 ...
