A pair of mathematicians has built on an obscure, 30-year-old mathematical theory to show that soap-filmlike minimal surfaces appear abundantly in a wide range
How would you fit an equation to the shape of an egg? This site suggests an equation of the form Note that if k = 0 we get an ellipse. The larger the parameter k is, the more asymmetric the shape is about the y-axis. Let's try that out in Mathematica: ContourPlot Here's another plot with k = 0.05. This one's a little
”Mathematical Etudes” develop Russian traditions in popularization of mathematics. This site presents 3D animated films which tell about mathematics and its applications in exciting and interesting way. So, dear spectator, we invite you to plunge into the world of beautiful mathematical problems. Their statements understandable for schoolchildren but so far scientists have not solved some of them.
Writing a mathematical paper is both an act of recording mathematical content and a means of communication of one's work. In contrast with other types of writing, the style of math papers is incredibly rigid and resistant to even modest innovation. As a result, both goals suffer, sometimes immeasurably. The clarity suffers the most, which…
