- Fri, 08 Nov 2019 12:48:52 +0000: Brains of girls and boys are similar, producing equal math ability - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
New research comprehensively examined the brain development of young boys and girls. Their research shows no gender difference in brain function or math ability. - Tue, 29 Oct 2019 14:33:13 +0000: Could mathematics help to better treat cancer? - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
Impaired information processing may prevent cells from perceiving their environment correctly; they then start acting in an uncontrolled way and this can lead to the development of cancer. To better understand how impaired information transmission influences the activity of diseased cells, researchers are going beyond the field of biology. They propose to examine cellular communication in the light of information theory, a mathematical theory more commonly used in computer science. - Mon, 28 Oct 2019 14:41:57 +0000: Mathematics reveals new insights into Marangoni flows - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
Scientists have discovered new mathematical laws governing the properties of Marangoni flows. The new theory better matches experimental observations of the well-known effect. - Fri, 25 Oct 2019 13:40:30 +0000: Determining the shapes of atomic clusters - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
Researchers propose a new method of identifying the morphologies of atomic clusters. They have confirmed that the distinctive geometric shapes of some clusters, as well as the irregularity of amorphous structures, can be fully identified mathematically. - Mon, 21 Oct 2019 15:49:18 +0000: Novel method turns any 3D object into a cubic style - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
Computer scientists have developed a computational method to quantify an abstract cubic style. Additionally, their method also enables users to create new shapes that resemble the input shape and exhibit the cubic style.
