Calculus is the study of change. More specifically, it is a method for understanding rates of change. If you know an object’s velocity and want to calculate its acceleration, then you need calculus ...

Determining which configurations of the cube are possible. The Fundamental Theorem of Cubology is a statement that characterizes which configurations are possible, and which configurations are ...

To all the new readers: Ready for some math? We love math here at Casting Out Nines, and I’ll be taking at least one day a week to talk about a math topic specifically. If you have a math post you’d ...

LI 1 has pointed out, by means of a neat algebraic formulation, that Fisher's fundamental theorem of natural selection does not apply exactly in a discrete-generation random-mating situation unless ...

Absolute zero − the most appropriate temperature for both quantum experiments and quantum computing − makes it easier to describe a system by relying on a set of fundamental propositions. One of them, ...

The adiabatic theorem – a fundamental achievement of quantum mechanics – was first formulated by Max Born and Vladimir Fock at the dawn of quantum mechanics. The theorem ensures that the evolving ...
