In the late 19th century, Karl Weierstrass invented a fractal-like function that was decried as nothing less than a “deplorable evil.” In time, it would transform the foundations of mathematics.

Fractional calculus extends the classical notions of differentiation and integration to non-integer orders, offering an adaptable framework that is particularly well suited to modelling anomalous ...

Staring at a page of derivatives or integrals can feel like trying to read a foreign language. Your professor moves fast, the ...

But, both of these would require large structural changes for a course that teaches hundreds of students a year — something that can’t really happen in the near term. What could happen now, though, is ...

If you are a new engineering first-year student starting in the fall semester, you will most likely be pre-enrolled in an Applied Math (APPM) pre-calculus or calculus course based on patterns of prior ...

The following is an excerpt of Infinite Powers: How Calculus Reveals the Secrets of the Universe by Steven Strogatz. Without calculus, we wouldn’t have cell phones, computers, or microwave ovens. We ...

The familiar, hierarchical sequence of math instruction starts with counting, followed by addition and subtraction, then multiplication and division. The computational set expands to include bigger ...
