The Arctic is warming faster than anywhere else on the planet, and as a result, sea ice in the Arctic Ocean is decreasing. Sea ice loss has far-reaching effects on the planet because the ice helps ...

If \(f^\prime\left(x\right) > 0\), the function \(f\left(x\right)\) is increasing (slopes are positive). The derivative graph lies above the \(x\)-axis If \(f^\prime ...

In this article, we will demonstrate how to use the graphing feature in the Windows calculator to try and make mathematics more fun. Microsoft has always strived to kick up a notch the Windows ...

It remains to be determined how different inputs for memory-encoding, such as the use of paper notebooks or mobile devices, affect retrieval processes. We compared three groups of participants who ...

A major focus of social network analysis is attempting to find central “influencers” or “opinion leaders” who can hasten or slow the spread of a social contagion. Using a simulation, we demonstrate ...

In recent years the analysis of molecular dynamics trajectories using dimensionality reduction algorithms has become commonplace. These algorithms seek to find a low-dimensional representation of a ...

We looked at Maxima in the February 2011 issue to do algebra and rearrange some equations. But those aren't the only tricks up Maxima's sleeve. This month, I describe how Maxima can help with ...

In this work we present a simple and fast computational method, the visibility algorithm, that converts a time series into a graph. The constructed graph inherits several properties of the series in ...
