You can probably think of a time when you’ve used math to solve an everyday problem, such as calculating a tip at a restaurant or determining the square footage of a room. But what role does math play ...

THESE works are very different in scope, but may be noticed together as examples of the way in which mathematics is studied in the United, States. Prof. Dicksons treatise on the theory of equations is ...

Complex natural systems defy standard mathematical analysis, so one ecologist is throwing out the equations. Sometimes ecological data just don’t make sense. The sockeye salmon that spawn in British ...
