The complex geometry of plant structures drives both scientific investigation and artistic inspiration. It also may provide ...

New tools make it possible to detect hidden manipulation of maps. Until recently, gerrymandered districts tended to stick out, identifiable by their contorted tendrils. This is no longer the case.

A Big Year in Graph Theory If there is one area of math that was particularly fruitful in 2023, it’s graph theory. One of the biggest mathematical discoveries of the past year was the proof of a new, ...

Because it's not a math program, Microsoft Word cannot produce a graph from data you input, but with its large array of drawing tools, you can draw a parabola once you've calculated its shape.

In science and mathematics, it has been a fairly common occurrence for two different people/teams to be working on the same ...

He used this knowledge to design a device called Op Art which generates Spirograph shapes on your oscilloscope using just a handful of op amps.

A new algorithm efficiently solves the graph isomorphism problem, which has puzzled computer scientists for decades.

How do shells get their shapes? These are the forces behind their twists and coils Math and physics, along with a little evolutionary luck, combine to help form some of the world’s most ...

My son has been studying similar shapes in math class recently, and how to use the scaling factors to determine missing line lengths between similar shapes, so I asked Matilda what she knew about it.
