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 ...

A function is a rule that is applied to one set of values to give another set of values. A function can be illustrated on a graph – points are plotted as coordinates and joined by either a straight ...

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 ...

Microsoft is adding a graphing mode to the Windows 10 calculator. The company made the calculator open-sourced on GitHub earlier this month and has received over thirty suggestions from contributors ...

I am a professor in mathematics at Simon Fraser University. My main research interests lie in analytic and enumerative combinatorics. I strive to find algorithmic, and systematic solutions to problems ...

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 ...
