`sin^2x + cos^2x = 1`
`y = frac (-b +- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)) (2a)`
`(x + 2)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 16`
`slope = m = frac (\text(change in y)) (\text(change in x)) = frac (Deltay) (Deltax)`

The Teddy-Lambkin Theorem

( Apr-01-2025)

We’ve seen that semialgebraic Teddy and semialgebraic Lambkin are both images of a four-dimensional ball. Could they be images of each other? The Teddy-Lambkin Theorem Ursula Whitcher Mathematical Reviews (AMS) My given name means bear—it’s the same root as the constellation Ursa Major—so growing up I had a huge collection... Read more


Footnote Finding

( Mar-01-2025)

If we were working with low dosages and using the correlation between dosage and outcomes as our metric of assessing effectiveness, we might underestimate how well the drug is actually working...

Elliptic Functions, Doughnuts, and a Secret Integration Technique

( Feb-01-2025)

Either math makes no sense at all, or integration by substitution is much deeper and more profound than we've given it credit for. I hope to convince you of the latter… Elliptic Functions, Doughnuts, and a Secret Integration Technique Anil Venkatesh Adelphi University Introduction Let's start with some pictures. What's...

Capturing the Invisible Hopping Rabbit

The problem is similar to search problems in theoretical computer science, where the goal is to systematically locate a hidden target (in this case, the rabbit)...

Strung Out on Automorphic Forms

( Nov-01-2024)

An automorphic form is, in the simplest sense, like a trigonometric function. Trigonometric functions are inescapable in both mathematics and physics, so it makes sense that we would see generalizations of them in physics applications... Strung Out on Automorphic Forms Holley Friedlander Dickinson College Automorphic forms are highly symmetric functions... Read more
