Mathematical modeling is the process of developing mathematical descriptions, or models, of real-world systems. These models can be linear or nonlinear, discrete or continuous, deterministic or ...

The GSMM Camp is a weeklong workshop directed towards interdisciplinary problem solving whose aim is graduate student education and career development. The GSMM Camp is designed to promote a broad ...

New research has identified the processes that underpin the trajectories of microplastics below the ocean surface. The authors analyzed how biofouling -- the accumulation of algae on the surface of ...

A research group from the University of Osaka, Zen University, and the University of Tokyo has mathematically uncovered the ...

An exposition of a variety of mathematical models arising in the physical and biological sciences. Students' modeling projects are presented in class. Topics may include: GPS navigation, medical ...

Cancer poses significant challenges due to the development of resistance and the likelihood of relapse. Resistance may arise from permanent genetic changes in cancer cells or non-genetic alterations ...

The sport of jai alai might not have a wide following, but its complex scoring system “has interesting mathematical properties that just beg the techno-geek to try to exploit it,” writes Steven Skiena ...

The long-running project, sometimes described as the environmental version of the AIDS quilt, thrives on convoluted math and a sea of volunteers. Coral reefs inspired the crochet exhibition “Austrian ...

Evolution is hard to model mathematically, but a new study may have found a way to do just that with some inspiration from an unlikely source.

Zebras and tigers have stripes, cheetahs and leopards have spots, and the ocellated lizard (Timon lepidus) boasts a labyrinthine pattern of black-and-green chains of scales. Now researchers from the ...
