Scientists mapping the human body at the cellular level keep running into the same surprise: beneath the apparent chaos of tissues and organs, there is a hidden order that looks a lot like pure ...
On a March day in 2023, Ben Alessio, then a research assistant at CU Boulder, was wandering around the Birch Aquarium in La Jolla, California, when he clocked a surprising sight: a male ornate boxfish ...
Van Gogh's "The Starry Night" seems to follow a mathematical theory describing fluids in nature. He couldn't have understood the equations, which came about decades after his death. Researchers found ...
Mathematical patterns reveal profound truths about the universe and, surprisingly, about our inner lives as well. These five visual math concepts offer unique frameworks for understanding our behavior ...

There are many purposes that spots and stripes serve in nature, but how they form has been more of a mystery to scientists. Now, researchers have advanced their breakthrough theory – and it could help ...
A pattern is something that repeats, like the beat of a drum, the stripes on a zebra, the phases of the moon, or the clauses of a sentence. This course introduces mathematical methods for composing ...
