It has not always been that way. We started out so promising. I actually enjoyed math through the sixth grade. Then, the “word problems” came into my life. Frankly, I did not care what time the train ...

ABSTRACT: The concept of mass manifests in diverse forms, dimensions and configurations, and yet among all these manifestations, a unified origin is usually yearned for. This study aims to propose ...

Damped Burger’s equation describes the characteristics of one-dimensional nonlinear shock waves in the presence of damping effects and is significant in fluid dynamics, plasma physics, and other ...

Slope-intercept form is a fundamental concept in algebra that represents linear equations in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. It has many practical applications and ...

Forget algebra or calculus. The greatest minds of our generation are now flummoxed by “Philly math.” Coined in a TikTok by Philly lifer Stephanie Powley — who goes by @stephunnyjane on the platform — ...

The Instagram algorithm recently brought me a new form of content: “Girl Math” videos. The trend is lighthearted, with women listing off all the ways that money doesn’t “count” in certain contexts. A ...

Structural mechanics is commonly modeled by (systems of) partial differential equations (PDEs). Except for very simple cases where analytical solutions exist, the use of numerical methods is required ...

Anyone who has watched crowds of people forming restroom lines at a concert or hurrying to catch buses and trains has probably noticed that they bump into each other less than you might think. The ...
