Wonder why babies nap on some days but not on others? Or why older people wake up earlier? Mathematical modelling of sleep regulation provides some surprising answers to these and other questions, ...

Mathematical patterns reveal profound truths about the universe and, surprisingly, about our inner lives as well. These five visual math concepts offer unique frameworks for understanding our behavior ...

Mathematics can be a subject that’s a bit unrelatable for some. Perhaps you recall sitting in a math class at some point, wondering, “When am I ever going to use quadratic equations?” But a new book ...

“Why bring together two fields that seem to many people so very disparate" What could mathematics and poetry share, except that the mention of either one is sometimes enough to bring an uneasy chill ...

Every curricular area has a global dimension that can be taught in the classroom, including math. This is often the area that is most difficult for people to grasp as being global, but math helps us ...

On a cold, rainy January morning in a café in downtown Chicago, I met Mary Silber, a leading scientist who applies mathematics to understand repetitive patterns of vegetation, which alternate ...

New research findings show doctors how to predict whether or not a patient with hepatitis C will respond to traditional therapy. Genetic patterns are like the tea leaves in the bottom of a cup for ...

Scientists have used mathematical modelling to understand why flocks of long-tailed tits segregate themselves into different parts of the landscape. Scientists from the University of Sheffield have ...
