Differential equations are fundamental tools in physics: they are used to describe phenomena ranging from fluid dynamics to general relativity. But when these equations become stiff (i.e. they involve ...

In a recent study, mathematicians from Freie Universität Berlin have demonstrated that planar tiling, or tessellation, is much more than a way to create a pretty pattern. Consisting of a surface ...

For decades, a math puzzle has stumped the smartest mathematicians in the world. x 3 +y 3 +z 3 =k, with k being all the numbers from one to 100, is a Diophantine equation that's sometimes known as ...
