Usually the way things work is that mathematicians make math discoveries, and physicists borrow and adapt those ideas to explain the universe. But three physicists at the University of Chicago and two ...

After breakfast one morning in August, the mathematician Terence Tao opened an email from three physicists he didn’t know. The trio explained that they’d stumbled across a simple formula that, if true ...

The well-known error estimates for the numerical computation of eigenvalues of symmetric integral equations are extended to the computation of the eigenvectors. The ...

Three physicists wanted to calculate how neutrinos change. They ended up discovering an unexpected relationship between some of the most ubiquitous objects in math. After breakfast one morning in ...

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data differ from most medical images in that values at each voxel are not scalars, but 3 × 3 symmetric positive definite matrices called diffusion tensors (DTs). The ...
