The proof, known to be so hard that a mathematician once offered 10 martinis to whoever could figure it out, uses number ...

The uncertainty inherent to quantum mechanics has long left physicists wondering whether the observations we make on the ...

We've been studying them for millennia, so how far have we come?

North Carolina lawmakers could overhaul high school math requirements and make it mandatory for students to pass a U.S. history test to get a diploma. The N.C. House voted 69-43 on Wednesday to pass a ...

Graphs of exponential functions and logarithmic functions provide a visual insight into their properties, such as growth, decay, and the inverse relationship between them. Graphs of exponential ...

Exponential and logarithmic functions are mathematical concepts with wide-ranging applications. Exponential functions are commonly used to model phenomena such as population growth, the spread of ...

It’s surprisingly difficult to prove one of the most basic properties of a number: whether it can be written as a fraction. A broad new method can help settle this ancient question. In June 1978, the ...

Quadratic functions are essential in the world of mathematics and have a wide range of applications in various fields, such as physics, engineering, and finance. An inverse function can be thought of ...

Mathematics is the study of order, relation and pattern. From its origins in counting and measuring it has evolved in highly sophisticated and elegant ways to become the language now used to describe ...

Abstract: Nowadays, problems such as greenhouse effect and air pollution become increasingly prominent. The power generation process should pay attention to the fuel cost and reduce the pollution to ...
