This research suggests that even chaotic, unpredictable phenomena, like waves on a shore or the beating of a heart, can be ...

Mathematics offers an astonishing bridge between the infinitely small world of particles and the cosmic immensity. Researchers are exploring how abstract geometric shapes can describe both ...

Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) and the University of Latvia have posited the first comprehensive physical explanation for the sun's various activity cycles. It ...

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, physical models were widely used by mathematics educators to depict a wide range of mathematical ideas in three dimensions. Most models were constructed in ...

We take shortcuts all the time with our physical models. We rarely consider that wire has any resistance, for example, or that batteries have a source impedance. That’s fine up until the point that it ...
