Charles Émile Picard: Pioneer of Complex Analysis
21+ hour, 21+ min ago (207+ words) Charles Émile Picard (24 July 1856 – 11 December 1941) was a French mathematician. He was elected to the Académie française in 1924 and made fundamental contributions to complex analysis and the theory of differential equations that shaped modern mathematics. Picard was born in Paris on…...
UN exhibition in Nairobi traces India's contribution to mathematics
4+ day, 12+ hour ago (293+ words) India's rich mathematical heritage, including its seminal contributions of zero and the decimal system, was showcased at the United Nations Campus in Nairobi on Wednesday through an interactive exhibition tracing how Indian mathematical ideas travelled across cultures and continents and…...
A 50-year-old computer-assisted proof
4+ day, 15+ hour ago (254+ words) The idea of using computers to assist with proofs is not new. The first major computer-assisted proof was published in 1976, the proof of the four color theorem by Kenneth Appel and Wolfgang Haken. The authors reduced the proof of the…...
Why Navier-Stokes remains one of mathematics’ toughest problems — Institute
5+ day, 9+ hour ago (518+ words) The Clay Mathematics Institute has described the Navier-Stokes equation as one of seven exceptionally difficult mathematical problems that have resisted solution for many years, with fundamental questions about the behaviour of fluids still awaiting proof. CMI medala The Cambridge, Massachusetts-based…...
Werner Heisenberg nearly failed his 1923 PhD oral because he could not explain the resolving power of a microscope—or even how a storage battery worked. Experimental physicist Wilhelm Wien wanted to fail him, but his mentor Arnold Sommerfeld defended his brilliance as a theorist, securing a mediocre cum laude—four years before Heisenberg used a microscope thought experiment to explain the uncertainty principle.
1+ week, 1+ day ago (921+ words) Heisenberg's near-failed 1923 doctorate exposed his weakness in experimental physics, then the microscope returned in his 1927 explanation of quantum uncertainty....

Unit Circle & Radian Measure??? Free Game
2+ week, 2+ day ago (348+ words) Stellen Sie Ihre erste Frage Unit Circle and Radian Measure In early geometry, trigonometry is often limited to right triangles, which means we only deal with acute angles (between 0∘0^\circ0∘ and 90∘90^\circ90∘). By using the unit circle and radian measure, we can…...

Art helped this astrophysicist make sense of math
2+ week, 6+ day ago (1427+ words) Theoretical physicist Ronald Gamble uses math to study how black holes warp the shape of spacetime. Sometimes, he pictures himself as Marvel’s Iron Man. “I feel like Tony Stark every other day.” When Ronald Gamble first learned about black holes…...
