A mathematician at Carnegie Mellon University has developed an easier way to solve quadratic equations. The mathematician hopes this method will help students avoid memorizing obtuse formulas. His ...

In many biological and physical systems, feedback mechanisms depend on a set of thresholds associated with the state variables. Each feedback has a characteristic time scale. We suggest that ...

Differential equations are fundamental tools in physics: they are used to describe phenomena ranging from fluid dynamics to general relativity. But when these equations become stiff (i.e. they involve ...

The internet is torn over an elementary-level math equation which left many scratching their heads. The viral math problem has X users stumped - but the answer comes from lessons learned in fifth or ...

Researchers from the Institute of Cosmos Sciences of the University of Barcelona (ICCUB) have developed a new framework based ...

A mathematical brain teaser challenges people to solve the matchstick equation in just two moves. The puzzle uses matchsticks ...

Revise how to find the area above and below the x axis and the area between two curves by integrating, then evaluating from the limits of integration. Higher Maths - Applying integral calculus.

Unless you do it in your day to day job, math can be very easy to avoid once you graduate from school. Suddenly those long, complicated equations that your math teacher swore would be trivial are so ...
