A Rochester Institute of Technology researcher developed a mathematical method that shows climate change likely caused the rise and fall of an ancient civilization. In an article recently featured in ...

Consider the marvelous physics of the human knee. The largest hinge joint in the body, it has two rounded bones held together ...

Researchers have developed a mathematical framework to design knee-like joints in robots, called rolling ...

How can we guess the size of an extinct animal when all that remains are a few scattered bones? A study conducted by researchers at ULiège now provides an answer to this question. Using mathematical ...

Our method is a first step toward developing a new mathematical toolkit to uncover the structure of neural circuits with unknown function in the brain." The method -- clique topology -- was developed ...

Mathematical methods courses have long been a fixture of physics departments, but they are rare in chemistry departments. Only a handful of chemistry departments offer them. The departments that do ...

For democratic elections to be fair, voting districts must have similar sizes. When populations shift, districts need to be redistributed -- a complex and, in many countries, controversial task when ...

Math achievement scores have dropped, but some school boards are finding a teaching formula for student success ...
