HYDERABAD: Scientists use mathematical models to explain why mosquito populations surge after rain, how species disappear without warning or why ecosystems recover when a missing element is restored.

Abstract: This third installment of the Beautiful Math articles considers the visualization of aesthetic patterns with hyperbolic-triangle-group symmetries. A flexible form of invariant mappings ...

Randomly scramble the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 to form a seven-digit number (or a six-digit number if the leading digit is 0). Rank the following events in order ...

Prime numbers are sometimes called math’s “atoms” because they can be divided by only themselves and 1. For two millennia, mathematicians have wondered if the prime numbers are truly random, or if ...

It began as a strange discovery buried in chaos theory — a mathematical pattern that seemed to predict real events before they happened. From climate shifts to stock market crashes, scientists now ...
