Ramanujan’s elegant formulas for calculating pi, developed more than a century ago, have unexpectedly resurfaced at the heart of modern physics. Researchers at IISc discovered that the same ...

Wrapping awkwardly shaped Christmas presents is always a headache, but here's the formula for perfect gift wrap. You've carefully chosen the presents. You have scissors, tape and even some rolls of ...

Not his game-opening goal for the Sharks on Sunday, 33 seconds in, leading the way to a 4-1 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes in Raleigh, which Macklin Celebrini, who was incredible in all three ...

Most of us first hear about the irrational number π (pi)—rounded off as 3.14, with an infinite number of decimal digits—in school, where we learn about its use in the context of a circle. More ...

Mathematicians may have a better way to measure agreement across different datasets. Agreement affects reproducibility, meta-analysis, and prediction to fill in missing data points. We need a more ...

In a recent write-up, [David Delony] explains how he built a Wolfram Mathematica-like engine with Python. Core to the system is SymPy for symbolic math support. [David] said being able to work with ...

In a recent study, mathematicians from Freie Universität Berlin have demonstrated that planar tiling, or tessellation, is much more than a way to create a pretty pattern. Consisting of a surface ...

In this tutorial, we explore how we can seamlessly run MATLAB-style code inside Python by connecting Octave with the oct2py library. We set up the environment on Google Colab, exchange data between ...

The White House’s new tariffs announced Wednesday were pegged to amounts it said other countries impose on the U.S. In many cases, those amounts appear to match a basic formula: the size of a ...
