This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Students see that geometric transformations—dilation and translation—correspond to algebraic parameters—m and b—in the familiar equation for a ...

What if instead of defining a mesh as a series of vertices and edges in a 3D space, you could describe it as a single function? The easiest function would return the signed distance to the closest ...

A viral video showing students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology clapping for a math professor during his last lecture has social media in a stir, for good reasons, of course. Gilbert ...

In this paper, we propose a functional linear regression model in the space of probability density functions. We treat a cross-sectional distribution of individual earnings as an infinite dimensional ...

Most famous equation: Einstein's E = mc2, which means energy is equal to mass times the speed of light squared. Known digits of pi: More than 105 trillion digits Digits of pi NASA uses for equations: ...

Terence Tao, who has been called the “Mozart of Mathematics,” wrote an essay in 2007 about the common ingredients in “good” mathematical research. In this episode, the Fields Medalist joins Steven ...
