The math of even the simplest ocean waves is notoriously uncooperative. A team of Italian mathematicians has made major ...

An experimental computer made by a Canadian company has proved its ability to solve increasingly complex mathematical problems. But the question remains — just how much of this calculating power is ...

This March 14, Short Wave is celebrating π... and pie! We do that with the help of mathematician Eugenia Cheng, Scientist In Residence at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and author of the ...

For some kids in South Florida, that’s now a reality — and it’s about much more than just having fun. These unique courses ...

That's right — Day 2 of Short Wave's Favorite Episodes Week is pure math goodness! In this encore episode, we revisit a conversation with mathematician Ranthony Edmonds. She reminds us that the idea ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Last year, onlookers observed a startling site on China’s Qiantang River: waves forming a grid-like pattern. Dubbed the “matrix tide,” this complex wave pattern was caused by the river ...

DAVENPORT — A large, hanging kinetic wave sculpture was installed last week at the Putnam Museum as part of the museum's new STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) Learning Center, which ...
