In 1914, Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan published a short paper detailing several unusual formulas for calculating ...

Ramanujan’s insights into pi are now guiding scientists toward a deeper understanding of how the universe works.

Although not a household scientific name like Albert Einstein or Isaac Newton, Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan—who tragically died in 1920 at the age of 32—was one of the greatest minds in ...

A new study finds that a century-old infinite series for calculating π discovered by Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan can be applied in other corners of physics. The study explained that ...

Most of us first hear about the irrational number π (pi)—rounded off as 3.14, with an infinite number of decimal digits—in school, where we learn about its use in the context of a circle. More ...

Do you know Archimedes of Syracuse (c. 287–212 BCE) is celebrated as one of history’s greatest scientific minds? As a young man, he travelled to Alexandria, Egypt, a major centre of learning, to study ...

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 ...

Ancient Greece mathematician Archimedes believed a death ray was plausible, so a middle school student from Canada put the concept to the test. Brenden Sener of Ontario won multiple medals for his ...

While traversing the moon’s surface after a planned launch later this year, Astrobotic’s shoebox-sized CubeRover will have some downtime: extra computing power that won’t always be in use. And thanks ...
