Four Homestead High School students recently won an international math modeling competition — and $20,000 in scholarship money to go with it. Adam Garsha, Jacob Schmidman, Eric Wan and Ethan Wang took ...

Many math teachers around the country have adjusted their expectations for students as a result of the Common Core State Standards. But a pilot professional-development program is going above and ...

The ACT math test consists of 60 multiple-choice questions that must be completed in 60 minutes. A portion of those questions involves modeling, which is the process of expressing real-life phenomena ...

The Alcubierre warp drive is an exotic solution in general relativity. It allows for superluminal travel at the cost of enormous amounts of matter with negative mass density. For this reason, the ...

A Rochester Institute of Technology mathematician helped develop a new modeling method to explore the relationship between the Earth’s atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and surface temperature over ...

Several University of Colorado Boulder undergraduates showed off their communication, programming and mathematical skills earlier this year in the 37th annual Math Contest in Modeling that featured 26 ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Early experiences with theoretical thinking and generalization in measurement are hypothesized to develop constructs we name here as logical ...

Understanding the stability, motion, and re-centering of contact lenses on eyes is essential to improving lens performance and comfort. Hydrogel lenses deform to conform to the eye. When a lens is on ...

The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) announced today that it has found a sponsor for its annual math modeling competition. Boston-based MathWorks, which creates software such as ...

Mathematics might be able to reduce the need for invasive biopsies in patients suffering kidney damage related to the autoimmune disease lupus. The model could also be used to monitor the ...
