Learn how to solve differential equations using Euler and Runge-Kutta 4 methods! This tutorial compares both techniques, explaining accuracy, step size, and practical applications for physics and ...

In this tutorial, we find and plot a catenary curve using GlowScript Python, walking through the math, physics, and code step by step. Learn how to model a hanging cable, visualize the curve, and ...

"We have demonstrated that it is impossible to describe all aspects of physical reality using a computational theory of quantum gravity," says Dr. Faizal. "Therefore, no physically complete and ...

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 ...

Bates is welcoming a large group of new faculty this year. Seventeen tenured or tenure-track professors will join the college in the course of the 2025-2026 academic year. Bates News is introducing ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the ...

A decade ago astrophysicists at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), operated by the California Institute of Technology and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, ...

When the greatest mathematician alive unveils a vision for the next century of research, the math world takes note. That's exactly what happened in 1900 at the International Congress of Mathematicians ...

Jingmei Qiu, a Unidel Professor of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Delaware, serves as a co-Principal Investigator at the Center for Hierarchical and Robust Modeling of Non-Equilibrium ...

How gravity causes a perfectly spherical ball to roll down an inclined plane is part of elementary school physics canon. But the world is messier than a textbook. Scientists have sought to ...

Emmy Noether showed that fundamental physical laws are just a consequence of simple symmetries. A century later, her insights continue to shape physics. In the fall of 1915, the foundations of physics ...
