A standard digital camera used in a car for stuff like emergency braking has a perceptual latency of a hair above 20 milliseconds. That’s just the time needed for a camera to transform the photons ...

Non-linear physics is the study of systems where the output is not directly proportional to the input. Unlike linear systems, which follow simple, predictable relationships, non-linear systems exhibit ...

The nonconvex problem of minimum curvature is considered in detail and sufficient conditions for existence of solutions as well as characterizations are presented. The L ∞ minimization problem of ...

The transistor laser invented by scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has now been found to possess fundamental non-linear characteristics that are new to a transistor and ...

The intent of this expository paper is to draw the attention of the applied mathematics community to an interesting two-dimensional mathematical model arising in solid mechanics involving a single ...

The commonly-quoted derivation of 3rd harmonic distortion level from the series expansion of the gain function produces an inaccurate result. This is often excused as an inherent artifact of the ...

I've been grading calculus exams this week, and even though my students did quite well overall there were a couple of errors that I see every semester. Errors that make mathematicians' heads explode.
