Numbers like π, e and φ often turn up in unexpected places in science and mathematics. Pascal's triangle and the Fibonacci sequence also seem inexplicably widespread in nature. Then there's the ...

In this article we will study the spectral properties of a deterministic signal exponentially damped in the past and in the future (the damping in the future is controlled by a time constant). The ...

(Phys.org)—Researchers have discovered that the solutions to a famous mathematical function called the Riemann zeta function correspond to the solutions of another, different kind of function that may ...

It was a good week for physics research as a team from Virginia Tech made a heat discovery that expanded on an 18th-century principle involving ice placed on a hot surface—Jonathan Boreyko and Mojtaba ...

The Zeta-Function of Riemann. Prof. E. C. Titchmarsh. (Cambridge Tracts in Mathematics and Mathematical Physics, No. 26.) Pp. vi + 104. (Cambridge: At the University ...

Prime numbers are maddeningly capricious. They clump together like buddies on some regions of the number line, but in other areas, nary a prime can be found. So number theorists can’t even roughly ...

Over the past few days, the mathematics world has been abuzz over the news that Sir Michael Atiyah, the famous Fields Medalist and Abel Prize winner, claims to have solved the Riemann hypothesis. If ...
