Algebraic notation is the standard way chess players record their moves. By Isaac Aronow The standard method of recording moves in a chess game is known as algebraic notation. The name isn’t quite ...

How can the behavior of elementary particles and the structure of the entire universe be described using the same mathematical concepts? This question is at the heart of recent work by the ...

Parsing algebraic expressions is always a pain. If you need to compute, say, 2+4*2, the answer should be the same as (2 + (4 *2)), not ((2 + 4) * 2) — in other words, the right answer is 10, not 12.

Algebraic geometry, a venerable branch of mathematics, focuses on the study of algebraic varieties—geometric manifestations of polynomial equations—while cohomology provides a suite of invariants that ...

Eric Larson and Isabel Vogt have solved the interpolation problem — a centuries-old question about some of the most basic objects in geometry. Some credit goes to the chalkboard in their living room.

Widely influential algebraic topologist and homotopy theorist Jack Morava, professor in the Department of Mathematics at Johns Hopkins University for nearly four decades, died in Boston on Aug. 1 ...

To remove brackets is to multiply the term outside the brackets by each term inside. Factorising an expression is to write it as a product of its factors. Check your understanding of the process with ...

We develop the mathematical machinery in this paper to construct a very general class of Markovian network queueing models. Each node has a heterogeneous class of customers arriving at their own ...
