A researcher in Rochester Institute of Technology’s School of Mathematical Sciences is developing new mathematical techniques that could lead to improvements in applications ranging from medical ...

Our students become accomplished critical thinkers who know mathematical techniques and computational methods, which they use in detailed analysis or real-world modeling, and which they apply in ...

How can we guess the size of an extinct animal when all that remains are a few scattered bones? A study conducted by researchers at ULiège now provides an answer to this question. Using mathematical ...

Mathematical methods courses have long been a fixture of physics departments, but they are rare in chemistry departments. Only a handful of chemistry departments offer them. The departments that do ...

Until recently, Markov models and analytical methods were fairly obscure mathematical techniques rarely applied outside of academic settings. The advent of functional safety standards, particularly ...

The Department of Engineering Sciences and Applied Mathematics (ESAM) at Northwestern University is highly interdisciplinary and focused on applications. Our faculty and students connect with ...

Find out how and why mathematics is used in microeconomics, its limitations, and the math skills that economics students need.

Mathematicians try to figure out when problems can be solved using current knowledge — and when they have to chart a new path instead. In the late 15th century, Leonardo da Vinci sketched plans for a ...
