The sport of jai alai might not have a wide following, but its complex scoring system “has interesting mathematical properties that just beg the techno-geek to try to exploit it,” writes Steven Skiena ...

For the first time, scientists using chia seed experiments have confirmed that Alan Turing's mathematical model can explain patterns seen in nature. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

Why do we need to understand the dynamics of the cell cycle? The cell cycle is a mechanism that controls and integrates the stages of DNA synthesis, mitosis, and cell division. This mechanism dictates ...

All hurricane forecasting models aren't created equal, even when it comes to those used to model the same storm. The storm surge models used by the U.S. national government "tend to over-predict so ...
