An equation of the form \(y = mx + c\) where \(m\) and \(c\) are numbers, gives a straight line when values of \(x\) and corresponding values of \(y\) are plotted on a grid. A straight line is a ...

If you or your kids are preparing for an advanced math or science course, you’re going to need a graphing calculator. These handy machines can process complex calculations (and simple ones), including ...

What if instead of defining a mesh as a series of vertices and edges in a 3D space, you could describe it as a single function? The easiest function would return the signed distance to the closest ...

Work out equations and draw graphs with this useful new tool. In Apple's great 2024 software refresh—specifically iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS 15 Sequoia—a new tool called Math Notes was added to the ...

American Journal of Mathematics, Vol. 101, No. 4 (Aug., 1979), pp. 743-759 (17 pages) The elementary functions of a complex variable z are those functions built up from the rational functions of z by ...

Most engineering labs have digital oscilloscopes, but many engineers don’t fully explore their features. Among the more interesting features of a digital oscilloscope is its math channel, which can ...

Trigonometry is the branch of math that studies triangles, with a particular focus on the relationships between angles and the lengths of corresponding sides. Interestingly enough, the trigonometric ...
