Crystals are known far and wide for their beauty and elegance. But even though they may appear perfect on the outside, their ...

A new approach to a 100-year-old math problem is reshaping how engineers understand wind turbines. Penn State engineering student Divya Tyagi developed a cleaner and more complete solution to a ...

The model reveals that more connected brain regions are more prone to damage, while isolated areas remain resilient. This approach offers a powerful framework for understanding disease progression and ...

Scientists are using a mathematical model to better understand the immune response to vaccines. When it comes to the design of a novel vaccine against viral infection, vaccine developers have to ...

During its review, I thought of a keynote that Jack Little, CEO of MathWorks, a company even with math in its name, gave at the Design Automation Conference back in 2008. Titled “Idea to ...

I got a master’s in mathematical education in 2013, followed by a master’s in pure math in 2015, both from DePaul. During my second master’s degree, I took a class in mathematical modeling ...

For decades, scientists have looked to light as a way to speed up computing. Photonic neural networks—systems that use light ...

As part of the HOPE trial in Victoria, Australia, systems modeling is informing the design of a new program to support young people who have sought emergency care after attempting self-harm.

That work has resulted in math models for cornrows, Native American bead work, henna designs, adinkras and others. Adinkras — symbols for Twi proverbs — link math and meaning.
