Why do humans love to look at patterns? I can only guess, but I've written a whole book about new mathematical ways to make them. In Creating Symmetry, The Artful Mathematics of Wallpaper Patterns, I ...

As a grape slowly dries and shrivels, its surface creases, ultimately taking on the wrinkled form of a raisin. Similar patterns can be found on the surfaces of other dried materials, as well as in ...

What if the key to unlocking artificial general intelligence is a pattern that already exists, but has yet to be discovered? Artificial general intelligence, also referred to as “strong artificial ...

If achieving artificial general intelligence is indeed a pattern that already exists, uncovering it involves mathematics, the science of patterns. Mathematicians look for patterns to form a conclusion ...

The Chinese money plant leaves hide a mathematical pattern discovery is reshaping how scientists understand natural design in plants. In simple terms, a common houseplant reveals one of mathematics’ ...

Scientists have found mathematical patterns underlying the way individuals unconsciously distribute their preferences regarding approaching or avoiding objects in their environment. These patterns ...

The same researchers behind the 13-sided "hat" shape have stumbled upon a version that improves upon the original in a very important way. Reading time 2 minutes In March, a group of mathematicians ...

Music and mathematics might seem like unlikely bedfellows. One lives in the realm of feeling and expression, the other in cold logic and numbers. Yet scratch beneath the surface of history's most ...
