Mathematician Reveals World’s Oldest Example Of Applied Geometry (Archeology / Maths)

A UNSW mathematician has revealed the origins of applied geometry on a 3700-year-old clay tablet that has been hiding in plain sight in a museum in Istanbul for over a century. The tablet – known as Si.427 – was discovered in the late 19th century in what is now central Iraq, but its significance was … Continue reading Mathematician Reveals World’s Oldest Example Of Applied Geometry (Archeology / Maths)

What Leads To Factorization Problem? How Half Wormholes Can Fix It? (Maths / Cosmology / Quantum)

Wormholes not only play a key role in understanding the nonperturbative physics of quantum black holes, for instance: the eternal traversable wormhole; the long-time behavior of the spectral form factor and correlation functions, the Page curve etc. but also, it leads to puzzles, in particular the factorization problem. Imagine two decoupled boundary systems in the … Continue reading What Leads To Factorization Problem? How Half Wormholes Can Fix It? (Maths / Cosmology / Quantum)

How We Sense Texture? (Neuroscience / Maths)

Mathematicians and neuroscientists achieve breakthrough in understanding how whiskers ‘amplify’ texture How we sense texture has long been a mystery. It is known that nerves attached to the fingertip skin are responsible for sensing different surfaces, but how they do it is not well understood. Rodents perform texture sensing through their whiskers. Like human fingertips, … Continue reading How We Sense Texture? (Neuroscience / Maths)

RUDN University Mathematicians Calculate The Density of 5G Stations For Any Network Requirements (Maths)

RUDN University mathematicians have developed a model for calculating the density of 5G stations needed to achieve the required network parameters. The results are published in Computer Communications. Network slicing (NS) is one of the key technologies that the new 5G communication standard relies on. Several virtual networks, or layers, are deployed on the same physical … Continue reading RUDN University Mathematicians Calculate The Density of 5G Stations For Any Network Requirements (Maths)

Thinking in 3D Improves Mathematical Skills (Maths)

Spatial reasoning ability in small children reflects how well they will perform in mathematics later. Researchers from the University of Basel recently came to this conclusion, making the case for better cultivation of spatial reasoning. Good math skills open career doors in the natural sciences as well as technical and engineering fields. However, a nationwide … Continue reading Thinking in 3D Improves Mathematical Skills (Maths)

Vortex, The Key To Information Processing Capability: Virtual Physical Reservoir Computing (Maths)

[Background] In recent years, physical reservoir computing*1), one of the new information processing technologies, has attracted much attention. This is a physical implementation version of reservoir computing, which is a learning method derived from recurrent neural network (RNN)*2) theory. It implements computation by regarding the physical system as a huge RNN, outsourcing the main operations … Continue reading Vortex, The Key To Information Processing Capability: Virtual Physical Reservoir Computing (Maths)

Researchers Shed Light On the Evolution of Extremist Groups (Maths)

Findings suggest new strategies to limit the growth of groups like the Boogaloo and ISIS Early online support for the Boogaloos, one of the groups implicated in the January 2021 attack on the United States Capitol, followed the same mathematical pattern as ISIS, despite the stark ideological, geographical and cultural differences between their forms of … Continue reading Researchers Shed Light On the Evolution of Extremist Groups (Maths)
