Maxwell’s equations of electromagnetism and the Euler equation top a poll to find the greatest equations of all time. Robert P Crease discusses the results of his reader survey First among equals – ...

Equations are ordered, elegant mathematical constructs used to describe specific patterns. Can you imagine some formulas depict the very opposite: chaos and randomness? What's more intriguing, they ...

In the Fall I'll be starting teaching again, after a semester away on sabbatical and then enjoying teaching relief during my first semester at Penn. I'll be teaching a course that I truly love, and ...

Most of us first hear about the irrational number π (pi)—rounded off as 3.14, with an infinite number of decimal digits—in ...

Kinematics Equation: The branch of physics that defines motion concerning space and time, ignoring the cause of that motion, is known as Kinematics. Kinematics equations are a set of formulas used in ...

Physicists have transformed a decades-old technique for simplifying quantum equations into a reusable, user-friendly "conversion table" that works on a laptop and returns results within hours.
