BROOKLYN, N.Y. — Scientists have long used mathematics to describe the physical properties of the universe. But what if the universe itself is math? That's what cosmologist Max Tegmark believes. In ...

Many quantum materials have been nearly impossible to simulate mathematically because the computing time required is too long. Now engineers have demonstrated a way to considerably reduce the ...

If all you had at your mathematical disposal was the idea of real numbers, you could still get very far. From Galileo to Newton to Coulomb to Maxwell, the entirety of classical physics is built on the ...

A previously unknown mathematical property has been found to be behind one of nature’s greatest mysteries – how ecosystems survive. A previously unknown mathematical property has been found to be ...

‘Another day's gone by and I didn't use algebra once.’ A philosophy of mathematics that connects it strongly with the real world gives a clearer insight into why everyone needs numeracy as well as ...

Students in Cristina Faro’s seventh grade mathematics classes at Carl H. Kumpf Middle School in Clark have been using their creativity to display their knowledge of the mathematical properties. In ...

There are different ideas about how quantum computers could be built. But they all have one thing in common: you use a quantum physical system—for example, individual atoms—and change their state by ...
