After previously discussing permutations, Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research uses step-by-step examples and full code presentations to explore combinations. A zero-based mathematical (n, k) ...

The human brain not only remembers who other people are, it also uses basic mathematical functions called basis functions to store information about how people interact — for example, how they work ...

The researchers studied the interaction between learning, teaching and the use of technological tools. To this end they developed so-called applets, small interactive software components that can be ...

Mathematical methods and special functions have long served as the backbone of modern theoretical physics and applied mathematics. These tools enable researchers to solve complex differential ...
