Perhaps the most beautiful aspect of mathematics is that it applies to literally everything, even things that do not exist in ...

This study is an attempt to analyze students' construction of function based problem solving methods in introductory algebra. It claims that for functions to be a main concept for learning school ...

This jingle has helped generations of algebra students recall the quadratic formula that solves every equation of the form $latex ax^2+bx+c=0$. The formula is as ...

Most engineering labs have digital oscilloscopes, but many engineers don’t fully explore their features. Among the more interesting features of a digital oscilloscope is its math channel, which can ...

Mathematical equations aren't just useful -- many are quite beautiful. And many scientists admit they are often fond of particular formulas not just for their function, but for their form, and the ...

Mathematicians used “magic functions” to prove that two highly symmetric lattices solve a myriad of problems in eight- and 24-dimensional space. The points could be an infinite collection of electrons ...

The Handbook of Mathematical Functions by Milton Abramovich and Irene Stegun is the one book I would wish to have on a desert island. Unlike a novel, it withstands infinities of rereadings. Its ...

To mathematicians, equations are art. Just as many are moved by a painting or piece of music, to those who appreciate and understand math, expressions of numbers, variables, operations and relations ...
