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 something that has stumped generations of the world’s best mathematicians.

Equations, like numbers, cannot always be split into simpler elements. Researchers have now proved that such “prime” equations become ubiquitous as equations grow larger. Prime numbers get all the ...

After German mathematician Gerd Faltings proved the Mordell conjecture in 1983, he was awarded the Fields Medal, often described as the “Nobel Prize of Mathematics.” The conjecture describes the set ...

When you need to measure temperature using thermistors, you face the challenge of linearizing their response to get accurate readings. One of the best methods for linearizing a thermistor is the ...

A reader sent in this question: “ Hi. I was wondering if you could help me figure out finding a complex root problem. If you could explain how it's done that would be great The simple, easy solution ...
