Earlier this year, Mathematician Ian Stewart came out with an excellent and deeply researched book titled "In Pursuit of the Unknown: 17 Equations That Changed the World" that takes a look at the most ...

We can calculate the gradient of a tangent to a curve by differentiating. In order to find the equation of a tangent, we: Differentiate the equation of the curve Substitute the \(x\) value into the ...

The Lagrangian description of absolutely continnous curves of probability measures on the real line is analyzed. Whereas each such curve admits a Lagrangian description as a well-defined flow of its ...
