- Fri, 13 Sep 2024 14:52:45 +0000: Unveiling the math behind your calendar - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
In a world where organizing a simple meeting can feel like herding cats, new research reveals just how challenging finding a suitable meeting time becomes as the number of participants grows. The study dives into the mathematical complexities of this common task, offering new insights into why scheduling often feels so impossible. - Thu, 12 Sep 2024 17:58:48 +0000: Big algebras: A dictionary of abstract math - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
Several fields of mathematics have developed in total isolation, using their own 'undecipherable' coded languages. Mathematicians now present 'big algebras,' a two-way mathematical 'dictionary' between symmetry, algebra, and geometry, that could strengthen the connection between the distant worlds of quantum physics and number theory. - Sat, 07 Sep 2024 03:41:03 +0000: Mathematical proof: Five satellites needed for precise navigation - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
What is the shortest route to the next stop or the agreed meeting point? Global positioning systems (GPS) have become a routine part of everyday life for most people. Until now, however, the minimum number of GPS satellites needed to determine the exact position of a mobile phone or other navigation device has remained a matter of conjecture. Researchers have now proved that a precise location can be determined in most cases with five or more satellites. At present, we can generally be sure of having contact to only four satellites. - Tue, 03 Sep 2024 18:49:12 +0000: Mathematicians model a puzzling breakdown in cooperative behavior - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
A model developed by evolutionary mathematicians shows that as conditions for cooperation improve between two species, mutually beneficial behavior can unexpectedly become unbalanced. Cooperative behavior pools in one species, the other consumes the spoils. - Wed, 28 Aug 2024 19:49:18 +0000: Research cracks the autism code, making the neurodivergent brain visible - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
A researcher's mathematical modeling approach for brain imaging analysis reveals links between genes, brain structure and autism.
