Collaborate Disseminate
The languages we speak influence the way that we see the world, in ways most of us may never recognize. For example, researchers report seeing higher savings rates among people …read more Continue reading Native Alaskan Language Reshapes Mathematics
A new shape has been discovered which would make for a pretty unique set of bathroom tiles. Nicknamed “the Hat,” the 13-sided shape can tesselate with itself without ever repeating a pattern, solving a 60-year-old mathematical mystery.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading Hat trick: Newly discovered shape solves 60-year mathematical mystery

The prevalence of prostate cancer around the world means that finding an effective treatment is critical. A new UK study has used mathematics to investigate the effectiveness of some currently available prostate cancer treatments.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading Math used to help calculate more effective prostate cancer treatments
Mathematical transforms can be a great help in understanding signals. Imaging trying to look at a complex waveform and figuring out the frequency components without the Fourier transform. [Artem Kirsanov] …read more Continue reading Understanding Wavelets
We make no apologies for being hardware focused here at Hackaday, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t occasionally impressed by a particularly inspired feat of bit wrangling. For example, [t3ssel8r] …read more Continue reading A Math Based Personality For Games
It might take you some time to understand what’s happening in the video that Hackaday alum [Moritz Sivers] shared with us. This is {Moritz]’s contribution for this year’s Pi Day …read more Continue reading Celebrating The Infinity Of Pi Day With Thermochromic Foil

There is a cybersecurity angle here – but you will need to read right to the end to find it 🙂 Continue reading Happy #PiDay – even if you aren’t in North America!
Random numbers are crucial for computing, but our current algorithms aren’t truly random. Researchers at Brown University have now found a way to tap into the fluctuations of quasiparticles to generate millions of truly random numbers per second.Contin… Continue reading Quasiparticles used to generate millions of truly random numbers a second
