Only a handful of molecules and mechanisms can generate such a huge diversity of forms and complexity in multicellular organisms. Recently, researchers investigated how this is possible using a simple ...

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 ...

The whole picture of Mathematical Modeling is systematically and thoroughly explained in this text for undergraduate and graduate students of mathematics, engineering, economics, finance, biology, ...

New research from the University of Chicago shows that a deceptively simple mathematical model can describe how the soil responds to environmental change. Using just two variables, the model shows ...

Physicists can create serious mathematical models of stuff that is very far from physics—stuff like biology or the human brain. These models are hilarious, but I’m still a sucker for them because of ...

This is the seventh in a series of newsletters that have been discussing a seldom-mentioned IT discipline – Application Performance Engineering (APE). In this newsletter we will discuss the limits of ...

The GSMM Camp is a weeklong workshop that builds interdisciplinary problem-solving skills for graduate and advanced undergraduate students. Participants work in teams on mathematically rich problems ...
