Whoever decides to get a tattoo thinks that they will carry an unalterable mark on the skin, but in reality the inks will disperse over time and the original drawing will end up altering. Professor Ian Eames, from University College London, has created a mathematical model that allows, for the first time, to simulate the changes that a tattoo undergoes over the years.
Did you know that great dancers show key genetic differences? And that dance steps can be practiced only with the mind? Or that dancing samba can improve motor skills in activities as diverse as playing a percussion instrument or playing soccer?
An international team of researchers has set out to provide mathematicians with their own "periodic table" that includes all possible shapes of the universe in three, four and five dimensions, and also to analyze the relationships between these components.
Language plays an important role in learning the meaning of numbers, according to a new study conducted by psychologist Susan Goldin-Meadow, from the University of Chicago (USA) and published in the scientific journal PNAS.
It is known as anamorphosis (derived from the Greek, meaning 'to transform') to a particular use of the laws of perspective in painting in which the forms are distorted representations of reality on a flat or curved surface, which only make sense when they look at each other from a certain point of view.
A team of researchers from Northwestern North American University has invented a mathematical algorithm that makes it possible to evaluate the professionalism and quality of play of a football team regardless of football statistics.
Why do couples break up despite promising eternal love? José Manuel Rey, professor in the Department of Economic Analysis at the Complutense University of Madrid, has developed a mathematical model based on the second law of thermodynamics and on the optimal control equations commonly used in the field of engineering to explain why they are terminated romantic relationships.
Certainly mathematics is a language. And a universal language. That is why scientists are able to communicate with each other even if they do not understand the language with whom they share their information. But the most mysterious of all is that mathematics is the only way we have to understand the world around us.
Danni Büchner is invited to Sam Dylan's Halloween party. But the "Goodbye Germany" emigrant has no desire for many other party guests. And find clear words.
