In his doctoral thesis, Michael Roop develops numerical methods that allow finding physically reliable approximate solutions ...

For years, Rutgers physicist David Shih solved Rubik's Cubes with his children, twisting the colorful squares until the ...

In this video I will work through 22 different examples of solving two-step equations using a worksheet I created for my students. I will use the properties of equality, inverse operations, and ...

Mathematicians finally understand the behavior of an important class of differential equations that describe everything from water pressure to oxygen levels in human tissues. The trajectory of a storm ...

Variance is a measurement of the spread between numbers in a data set. Investors use the variance equation to evaluate a ...

An equation of the form \(y = mx + c\) where \(m\) and \(c\) are numbers, gives a straight line when values of \(x\) and corresponding values of \(y\) are plotted on a grid. A straight line is a ...

A team of international physicists has brought Bayes’ centuries-old probability rule into the quantum world. By applying the “principle of minimum change” — updating beliefs as little as possible ...

In January I wrote a piece titled “5 Physics Equations Everyone Should Know.” Lots of you weighed in with your own nominations, and there were plenty of good suggestions. So I’ve decided to do a ...
