Euler’s identity is a special case of a foundational equation in complex analysis, Euler’s Formula, which he discovered in 1744. It shows how any complex number can be obtained by rotating a ...

Differential equations may improve training regimens and tournament design for bowlers.

That’s exactly what happened in 1900 at the International Congress of Mathematicians at Sorbonne University in Paris.

Ah, math. Take an easy problem we all studied in our teens, scale it up by just a couple of steps, and suddenly you’re facing ...

Researchers had to mathematically capture the motion of a bowling ball that, although nearly spherical, is slightly asymmetrical. An even greater challenge lay in translating the model’s complex ...

Self-taught and divinely inspired, Srinivasa Ramanujan’s genius shaped mathematics — but his story is also a reminder that ...

On at least two different occasions, the rumour was rife on social media that he was dead. To be falsely deceased, I teased ...
