Math, specifically calculus, is a barrier to many natural sciences, technology and engineering fields. Physics, which is math-heavy, often proves similarly challenging to students who wish to pursue ...

Princeton Professor Andrew Houck’s calculus students had just finished grappling with a set of equations on the forces of tension and gravity when he pulled a large pendulum back to his shoulder and ...

Caltech professor Jared Leadbetter meets with university admissions ambassadors, from left, Emily Hu, Jj Jones and Miles Jones. Leadbetter helped develop an alternative path to admissions, dropping ...

Have you ever tried searching Google for answers to your homework, and more specifically, math and science problems? Back in the day, this was a hard feat, as Google would only lead users to websites ...

Google updated its search engine and Lens tool with new features to help you visualize and solve problems in more difficult subjects like geometry, physics, trigonometry and calculus. The update ...

Breakthroughs in physics sometimes require an assist from the field of mathematics—and vice versa. In 1912, Albert Einstein, then a 33-year-old theoretical physicist at the Eidgenössische Technische ...

PASADENA — In a major shift for one of the nation’s most prestigious universities, Caltech announced Thursday, Aug. 31, it is dropping its longstanding admissions requirement for applicants to have ...

It might sound strange to think about physics (which often involves a lot of theory and hypotheticals) helping people solve mathematics problems. However, physics follows many math patterns very ...

The algorithm is grounded in math and physics and allows a nuclear microreactor to automatically control its thermal power.
