“Crystal Math” uses equations—and minimal resources—to rapidly predict the 3D structures of molecular crystals, which could speed up R&D for drugs and electronic devices. Researchers at New York ...
In future, our society will recognize greater scientific, social, and economic value in abstract mathematical concepts, logical structures, and the indefinite perception and experience of human beings ...
Scientists mapping the human body at the cellular level keep running into the same surprise: beneath the apparent chaos of ...
Most of us first hear about the irrational number π (pi)—rounded off as 3.14, with an infinite number of decimal digits—in school, where we learn about its use in the context of a circle. More ...
The premise of Marcus du Sautoy’s Blueprints: How Mathematics Shapes Creativity is that mathematics and creativitiy spring from the same well — structure. Individual numbers exist without human help.
A simple mathematical model predicts the development of cultural structures observed in human societies Figure 1: Bonds with in-laws play a role in the development of complex social structures known ...
Mathematical truths are often born of the conflict between order and disorder. Mathematicians discover patterns, and, to better understand the mysterious forces at play, they look for countervailing ...
Children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) have a number of cognitive deficits. Mathematical ability seems particularly damaged in children with FASD. A new study supports the importance of ...
