For over 150 years, a rule of thumb dating back to the French mathematician Pierre Ossian Bonnet has been accepted in surface theory: If the metric and mean curvature of a compact surface are known at ...

A team at Los Alamos National Laboratory has completed a mathematical framework for human color perception that Nobel Prize-winning physicist Erwin Schrodinger first sketched more than a century ago.

Quantum metric spaces extend the classical notion of metric spaces into the noncommutative realm by utilising operator algebras and associated seminorms to capture geometric structure in settings ...

A group of Boston-based mathematicians calling themselves the Metric Geometry and Gerrymandering Group are using their math superpowers to fight back against gerrymandering. They're holding a public ...

Students from the education and math departments of Misericordia University joined with the pre-kindergarten through eighth-grade students at St. Jude School to celebrate Metric Math Day. The ...

Scientists have long sought to understand the quantum metric (QM)—a fundamental quantity that measures how rapidly neighboring electronic states in a solid change across momentum space. Predicted to ...
