Montgomery happened to find strikingly similar behavior in the prime numbers— specifically, the correlations between the ...

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 ...

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 ...

A decade ago astrophysicists at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), operated by the California Institute of Technology and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, ...

Numbers like pi, e and phi often turn up in unexpected places in science and mathematics. Pascal's triangle and the Fibonacci sequence also seem inexplicably widespread in nature. Then there's the ...

In theory, quantum physics can bypass the hard mathematical problems at the root of modern encryption. A new proof shows how.

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 ...
