You can probably think of a time when you’ve used math to solve an everyday problem, such as calculating a tip at a restaurant or determining the square footage of a room. But what role does math play ...

Alan Veliz-Cuba has received funding from the Simons Foundation and the American Mathematical Society for some of his research. You can probably think of a time when you’ve used math to solve an ...

Scientists have used a mathematical model to reveal how toxic proteins cluster together inside the brain during the early stages of Alzheimer's. The researchers say the discovery could have important ...

Medicine makers need to get better at math. Improved mathematical modeling would accelerate the move toward automated processes, cut production times, and reduce costs. Researchers Francesco Destro, ...

Achieving consensus among countries in global climate negotiations is a long and complicated process. Researchers have developed a mathematical model that describes the achievement of the 2015 Paris ...

Historically, mathematical models in ecology have been used largely to provide qualitative explanations for patterns in nature. A classic example of this approach was the effort to use competition ...

For the first time, researchers have used decades of information about sex to calculate a mathematical model for achieving sexual climax. Mathematical models are used to analyze, explain, and predict ...
