Mathematicians are “reinventing the wheel” by giving it a new shape. Their newly imagined wheel looks like a many-dimensional guitar pick, and it could theoretically roll in ways beyond our ...

It is rare to read about “spectacular progress” or a “once-in-a-century” result in mathematics. That’s for good reason: if a problem has not had a solution for many years, then completely new ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract In this paper, we investigate spectral method for mixed inhomogeneous boundary value problems in three dimensions. Some results on the ...

A Rochester Institute of Technology Ph.D. student was part of a team of researchers that settled a 90-year-old math problem called Keller’s conjecture. David Narváez, a computing and information ...

A problem doesn't last a lifetime. But how you deal with it can make it linger for years without resolution. In my studies about the topic, I've identified that, in addition to everything that ...

The Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 69, No. 3 (MARCH 2018), pp. 402-415 (14 pages) This paper presents a heuristic for the guillotine two-dimensional bin packing problem, where a set ...

New programs from Good Business Lab and ILO show how this approach can unlock great potential for industries across the world. Employers are increasingly looking for problem-solving skills in their ...
