Differential equations are fundamental tools in physics: they are used to describe phenomena ranging from fluid dynamics to general relativity. But when these equations become stiff (i.e. they involve ...

One useful feature of the Python math module is quick access to mathematical constants. You can make Python more effective as a scientific calculator by using these same functions with numerical ...

Abstract: In this paper, we consider a dynamical system whose trajectory is a result of minimizing a multiphase cost function. The multiphase cost function is assumed to be a weighted sum of specified ...

Assorted math functions, including linear interpolation, list operations (sums, mean, products), convolution, quantization, log2, hyperbolic trig functions, random ...

The Leidenfrost effect is known for droplets dancing on hot pans, but its inverse is even stranger. This documentary explores ...

Natural selection uses duplicated genes as raw material for functional innovation, co-opting their existing features to new functions. Understanding genetic innovation requires two questions to be ...

The Cabot Professor of Mathematics sat down with Fifteen Minutes to discuss life lessons from mathematics, the challenges of formulating good questions, and his work visualizing curved space.

Can you chip in? The Internet Archive is introducing peer-to-peer (P2P) fundraising —a giving platform that allows individual supporters to host personalized campaigns to fundraise for the Internet ...

Abstract: Autonomous vehicles are sharing the road with human drivers. In order to facilitate interactive driving and cooperative behavior in dense traffic, a thorough understanding and representation ...

The various types of special functions have become essential tools for scientists and engineers. One of the important classes of special functions is of the hypergeometric type. It includes all ...

The School of Medicine is a major international centre for teaching and research, and committed to the pursuit of improved human health. We combine progressive healthcare education and patient care ...
