Rochester Institute of Technology will offer a new Ph.D. in mathematical modeling, beginning in fall 2017. This emerging discipline integrates applied mathematics with scientific computing to model ...

The GSMM Camp is a weeklong workshop that builds interdisciplinary problem-solving skills for graduate and advanced undergraduate students. Participants work in teams on mathematically rich problems ...

Human cancers are thought to be sustained in their growth by a pathologic counterpart of normal adult stem cells: cancer stem cells. This concept was first developed in human myeloid leukemias and is ...

Medicine makers need to get better at math. Improved mathematical modeling would accelerate the move toward automated processes, cut production times, and reduce costs. Researchers Francesco Destro, ...

Historically, mathematical models in ecology have been used largely to provide qualitative explanations for patterns in nature. A classic example of this approach was the effort to use competition ...

Baez called for the development of new mathematics — he called it “green” math — to better capture the workings of Earth’s biosphere and climate. For his part, he sought to apply category theory, a ...
