In theory, quantum physics can bypass the hard mathematical problems at the root of modern encryption. A new proof shows how.

Much of the news coverage framed this possibility as a shock to the AI industry, implying that DeepSeek had discovered a new, ...

Boomers know this well. They grew up before screens dominated every corner of life, and the hobbies they’ve held onto have ...

On a certain track team, the runners all take between 4 and 7 minutes to finish a mile. Suppose the probability density function for the length of time it takes a ...

Mathematics might seem intimidating at first glance, but understanding its symbols is like learning to read a new language, one that opens doors to science, technology, and logical thinking. Whether ...

Abstract: Submodular optimization plays a significant role in combinatorial problems, since it captures the structure of the edge cuts in graphs, the coverage of sets, and so on. Many data mining and ...

Abstract: This letter proposes a new method for robust state-feedback control design for nonlinear systems. We introduce robust control contraction metrics (RCCM), extending the method of control ...

Functions are one of the most fundamental concepts in mathematics, forming the foundation for topics in algebra, calculus and many other areas. A solid understanding of the basics of functions, ...

JavaScript is a great language. It has a simple syntax, large ecosystem and, what is most important, a great community. At the same time, we all know that JavaScript is quite a funny language with ...

You can use these live scripts as demonstrations in lectures, class activities, or interactive assignments outside class. In the first script, students learn to derive transfer functions from ODEs and ...

Fractional calculus is undergoing rapid and ongoing development. We can already recognize, that within its framework new concepts and strategies emerge, which lead to new challenging insights and ...
