A standard digital camera used in a car for stuff like emergency braking has a perceptual latency of a hair above 20 milliseconds. That’s just the time needed for a camera to transform the photons ...

Non-linear physics is the study of systems where the output is not directly proportional to the input. Unlike linear systems, which follow simple, predictable relationships, non-linear systems exhibit ...

The nonconvex problem of minimum curvature is considered in detail and sufficient conditions for existence of solutions as well as characterizations are presented. The L ∞ minimization problem of ...

This equation is in the standard form of a linear equation: A x + B y = C, where A, B, and C are constants. The variable x is raised to the power of 1. The variable y is raised to the power of 1. The ...

The intent of this expository paper is to draw the attention of the applied mathematics community to an interesting two-dimensional mathematical model arising in solid mechanics involving a single ...

I've been grading calculus exams this week, and even though my students did quite well overall there were a couple of errors that I see every semester. Errors that make mathematicians' heads explode.

The transistor laser invented by scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has now been found to possess fundamental non-linear characteristics that are new to a transistor and ...

The commonly-quoted derivation of 3rd harmonic distortion level from the series expansion of the gain function produces an inaccurate result. This is often excused as an inherent artifact of the ...
