Earlier this year, Mathematician Ian Stewart came out with an excellent and deeply researched book titled "In Pursuit of the Unknown: 17 Equations That Changed the World" that takes a look at the most ...

Current equations for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) that use serum creatinine or cystatin C incorporate age, sex, and race to estimate measured GFR. However, race in eGFR equations is a ...

How to enter mathematical equations into a Microsoft Word document Your email has been sent Word seems like an odd choice to use with mathematical equations, but the reality is Microsoft Word is a ...

If you hang around with physics people long enough, some­one eventually will bring up Maxwell's equations. Maybe as part of a joke, or on a T-shirt or a tattoo. But they'll be somewhere. So even if ...

Researchers have spent centuries looking for a scenario in which the Euler fluid equations fail. Now a mathematician has finally found one. Mathematicians have suspected for years that under specific ...

All the tech we rely on, from cars to smartphones, was engineered using physics. You don’t need to know the science to use these things. But a well-rounded human should understand at least some of the ...

A UNSW Sydney mathematician has discovered a new method to tackle algebra's oldest challenge—solving higher polynomial equations. Polynomials are equations involving a variable raised to powers, such ...

In It Must Be Beautiful: Great Equations of Modern Science, Graham Farmelo assembled and edited essays on 11 great equations of the 20th century. Six are from physics: E = hf, E = mc 2, Einstein’s ...

Mathematical equations aren't just useful -- many are quite beautiful. And many scientists admit they are often fond of particular formulas not just for their function, but for their form, and the ...

An astrophysicist explains what wormholes are and how these theoretical space-time tunnels have popped up in the solutions to a set of decadesold equations.

Equations that have more than one unknown can have an infinite number of solutions. For example, \(2x + y = 10\) could be solved by: \(x = 1\) and \(y = 8\) \(x = 2\) and \(y = 6\) \(x = 3\) and \(y = ...
