I once had someone tell me a story of being on an airplane seated next to someone who was writing a dissertation in either math or economics (I forgot which). They asked their companion what their ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- A water drop placed on a soap film that vibrates up and down may bounce as if on a trampoline -- but it's much more than that, according to MIT mathematicians who say the "fluid ...

Math is a cool way for us to understand the world we live in. And to that end Business Insider recently spoke with Steven Strogatz, the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor of Applied Mathematics at Cornell ...

The irregular, swirling motion of fluids we call turbulence can be found everywhere, from stirring in a teacup to currents in the planetary atmosphere. This phenomenon is governed by the Navier-Stokes ...

Chaos theory examines the emergence of unpredictable yet deterministic behaviour in nonlinear systems, characterised by extreme sensitivity to initial conditions. Dynamical systems analysis provides ...

A team of Italian scientists has figured out a way to turn the striking, complex twisting shapes of chaos theory into actual jewelry, according to a new paper published in the journal Chaos. These ...
