Excel has several tools for solving complex equations like those that often arise in circuit design. In this blog, I will deal with the simplest, called “Goal Seek.” The very basis of Excel is that ...

Absolute value equations (AVEs), characterised by the inclusion of absolute value functions in the variables, present inherently non‐smooth and computationally challenging problems that are often ...

A new Google Lens feature is on the way that helps students learn math and STEM-related topics. To use the new “Homework” search mode, all you have to do is scan the equation you need help solving. It ...

It can take years for humans to solve complex scientific problems. With AI, it can take a fraction of the time. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. Dr. Shuiwang Ji, a ...

In a recent study, mathematicians from Freie Universität Berlin have demonstrated that planar tiling, or tessellation, is much more than a way to create a pretty pattern. Consisting of a surface ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) As our digital devices handle increasingly complex computations, scientists have looked to physics for inspiration on new computing paradigms. Rather than shuttling electrical ...

A team of engineers has proven that their analog computing device, called a memristor, can complete complex, scientific computing tasks while bypassing the limitations of digital computing. A team of ...

Grade school math students are likely familiar with teachers admonishing them not to just guess the answer to a problem. But a new proof establishes that, in fact, the right kind of guessing is ...
