Let's remind ourselves of what the sine graph looks like so that we can see how many solutions we should be expecting: Therefore, from the graph of the function, we can see that we should be expecting ...

Counting will get you nowhere. Try a little combinatorics instead. By Kenneth Chang A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about a viral math problem — 8÷2(2+2) = ? — that drew the disdain of many ...

Partial differential equations can describe everything from planetary motion to plate tectonics, but they’re notoriously hard to solve. Unless you’re a physicist or an engineer, there really isn’t ...
