Whether it's physical phenomena, share prices or climate models—many dynamic processes in our world can be described mathematically with the aid of partial differential equations. Thanks to ...

Mathematical methods and special functions form a cohesive toolkit for modelling, analysing and solving a vast array of problems in the physical sciences and engineering. Integral transforms—most ...

For many, it's been years since they've sat in a classroom while a teacher tested their arithmetic skills. Internet users are now racking their brains to remember how to solve elementary school ...

A mathematician at Carnegie Mellon University has developed an easier way to solve quadratic equations. The mathematician hopes this method will help students avoid memorizing obtuse formulas. His ...

In a recent study, mathematicians from Freie Universität Berlin have demonstrated that planar tiling, or tessellation, is much more than a way to create a pretty pattern. Consisting of a surface ...

Many dynamic processes can be described mathematically with the aid of stochastic partial differential equations. Scientists have found a new method which helps to solve a certain class of such ...
