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 … ...

This monthly journal, begun in 1950, is devoted entirely to research in pure and applied mathematics, principally to the publication of original papers of moderate length. A section called Shorter ...

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 ...

Hassler Whitney, Characteristic Functions and the Algebra of Logic, Annals of Mathematics, Vol. 34, No. 3 (Jul., 1933), pp. 405-414 ...

Mathematicians used “magic functions” to prove that two highly symmetric lattices solve a myriad of problems in eight- and 24-dimensional space.

The Sunday Function Explore fascinating functions in math! Join discussions on middle-level mathematics that engage minds every Sunday.

Interestingly enough, the trigonometric functions that define those relationships are also closely tied to circles. Needless to say, this makes trig one of the hardest topics in math for students ...
