Mathematics provides much of the language and quantitative underpinnings of the natural and social sciences — mathematical scientists built the foundation for modern computational and computer science ...

In a recent write-up, [David Delony] explains how he built a Wolfram Mathematica-like engine with Python. Core to the system is SymPy for symbolic math support. [David] said being able to work with ...

Pyright incorrectly resolves a local, internal module named math to the built-in Python math module, leading to false-positive type errors ("... is not a known attribute of module math") when ...

Whether you’re solving geometry problems, handling scientific computations, or processing data arrays, calculating square roots in Python is a fundamental task. Python offers multiple approaches for ...

What subjects are on the SAT? This is a common question for students gearing up for college. As I researched and gathered information for this guide, I saw that the national average SAT scores fell ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

Here we make explicit the connection between subscript notation in mathematics and indices in Python. In mathematics: Say we have a collection of objects X. We can refer to individual elements of the ...

While we have the Python built-in function sum() which sums the elements of a sequence (provided the elements of the sequence are all of numeric type), it’s instructive to see how we can do this in a ...

Abstract: Linear systems involved in engineering and scientific calculations can be more easily analyzed using similarity transformation. However, understanding the numerous abstract linear algebra ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. David Bessis was drawn to mathematics for the same reason that many people are driven away: He didn’t understand how it worked. Unlike ...
